Agreed. If the rumored terraced batteries (that couldn't make it in time for this year's release) come through, coupled with ostensible efficiency improvements in the next gen of processors, GPUs etc, we might be able to reach that hallowed 10 hour mark again.

Well, that and hopefully there's a price drop with the second gen of touchbar MacBooks (not holding my breath there)

Yeah, I went ahead and installed the driver manually (sans GeForce Experience). I can always update manually when needed (if/when a new game is wonky).

Screw having to create unnecessary accounts (or signing into services I don't absolutely need).

Not to mention that battery tech will hopefully improve once everybody relies on battery powered cars, and some currently infeasible tech becomes cost-effective due to large scale deployments.

The problem is no one really uses apps anymore

This might be a bit of a generalization. People tend to use apps for websites they visit very frequently (eg more than 2-3x a day). Even more so when the mobile version of the website is rife with bugs and/or limitations.

Reddit's mobile site is passable but the third party apps blow it out of the water on both iOS and Android.

As someone who's never used React, would you mind expanding on what your app does?

Also, have you noticed any slowdowns at all vis-a-vis fully native apps?

Thanks.
