"There's an app for that"
And now it's a web app because nobody wants to target just one platform and each platform distribution system is too painful for independent developers to set up.

@savanni In addition to this issue, I'm torn over apps. On the one hand, it would be nice to not need to access the internet for everything (especially from a phone with sketchy connectivity). On the other, if the whole point of the app is to access the internet, a web page seems like a better idea.
Of course, it's all about harvesting data and serving ads, so 🤷 .
@peterdrake I don't think it always is. I'd largely rather have a native application instead of a million browser tabs.
On the other hand, for limited applications such as paying my mortgage, a web page is perfect.
