I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading these comments. Apps are clearly better for end users.

HTML and css is SUPER slow. It doesn't feel native, it doesn't feel good to use.

You also get so many weird glitches with state refreshing, sessions being cleared, log in not persisting.

Has anyone here actually used a PWA? You can feel that it's slow and clunky. Apps feel SO much better with the native UI, pre-downloaded, much faster etc.

This is really cool. It seems to me LLMs and books are a match made in heaven. An LLM query is more useful than a google search for most text. Would be cool to see this more deeply integrated, in a koreader extension or something

The arrogance of comments like this is amazing.

I think it's an interesting psychological phenomenon similar to virtue signalling. Here you are signalling to the programmer in-group how good of a programmer you are. The more dismissive you are the better you look. Anyone worried about it reveals themself as a bad coder.

It's a luxury belief, and the better LLMs get the better you look by dismissing them.

I agree with you but take it further, what's the point of different spaces? Just put all apps to full screen size (not "fullscreen") on the first screen and alt tab instantly

Too many tabs is overwhelming. I know for myself when the tab count gets high it's a sign that my mind is cluttered, I'm unfocused, and I need to prune and centre myself again. Bookmarks are one way, but I mainly just use the search bar directly for history. Things to read later are put into Pocket or linked in Obsidian notes or somewhere more relevant.
