The Mobile Web: An Unsung Hero

        "html": "<img alt=\"\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/mariposta/image/upload/w_1200,c_limit,q_65/phone-and-coffee_mwsqao.jpg\" /><h2>The supremacy of App Store apps on mobile devices remains greatly exaggerated.</h2>\n\n<p>Back in the spring of last year, I published an article called <a href=\"https://jaredwhite.com/articles/the-web-is-the-opposite-of-dead\">The Web is the Opposite of Dead</a>. It was a bit of a ra-ra riff on the observation that the web had become the lifeline and primary communication mechanism for millions of people around the world in the face of a global pandemic.</p>\n\n<p>I recalled that article again as I was musing on the curious fact that I\u2019ve never used an \u201cApp Clip\u201d. Remember when Apple was signing the praises of App Clips? They were these little \u201cmini-apps\u201d which would pop up on your phone when you\u2019d suddenly need to pay for parking or order at a restaurant or whatever. Ever seen one of those in the wild? Me neither.</p>\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the deal: there is already a vibrant, successful, universally-accessible \u201cmini-app\u201d platform which can give you access to information, goods, and services at a moment\u2019s notice. It\u2019s called <strong>the web</strong>. And the web doesn\u2019t just reign supreme on \u201ccomputers\u201d\u2014it\u2019s every bit as vital to the world of mobile devices as well. We take it for granted. We even throw stones at it. (How many times have you heard the refrain <em>native apps are better than responsive websites</em>?!) And yet\u2026the web is always there, chugging along, making mobile networked computing tick.</p>\n\n<p>I realize I\u2019m only a single data point, but for the sake of discussion, here\u2019s the latest weekly Screen Time report from my iPhone.</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/mariposta/image/upload/c_scale,q_70,w_828/v1634836384/screentime-oct-2021_ncfgd7.jpg\" alt=\"Screen Time report\" /></p>\n\n<p>(Yeah, I know, I\u2019m addicted to Twitter!)</p>\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break this list down a bit:</p>\n\n<ul><li><strong>Twitter</strong>: one could argue that the Twitter app is simply a specialized web browser. You read/reply to messages and tap links. Guess where those links go? The web. Twitter\u2019s little more than a \u201cportal\u201d (to use an old-fashioned term) to the web.</li>\n  <li><strong>Castro</strong>: a podcast player, which if you think about it is also a specialized web browser. All it really does is provide a way to play the audio files provided through RSS feeds from around the web. And those links in the show notes for a given podcast? Web sites all.</li>\n  <li><strong>Safari</strong>: goes without saying what this is for\u2026 \ud83d\ude04</li>\n  <li><strong>Messages/Music</strong>: (OK sure, this is proprietary Apple stuff.)</li>\n  <li><strong>Discord/Reddit/YouTube</strong>: while these are native apps, all they\u2019re doing is surfacing the exact same web-based content I would see if I logged onto their websites. And any external links in those apps will kick me back onto the web. So\u2026yet again\u2026these are really just specialized web browsers.</li>\n</ul><p>It\u2019s interesting to refer back to Steve Jobs\u2019 original pitch for the iPhone: <em>a phone, an iPod, an internet communications device.</em> 14 years later,  it turns out that last concept has vastly overshadowed the first two. I use my iPhone as a \u201cphone\u201d almost never.

        "text": "The supremacy of App Store apps on mobile devices remains greatly exaggerated.\n\nBack in the spring of last year, I published an article called The Web is the Opposite of Dead. It was a bit of a ra-ra riff on the observation that the web had become the lifeline and primary communication mechanism for millions of people around the world in the face of a global pandemic.\n\nI recalled that article again as I was musing on the curious fact that I\u2019ve never used an \u201cApp Clip\u201d. Remember when Apple was signing the praises of App Clips? They were these little \u201cmini-apps\u201d which would pop up on your phone when you\u2019d suddenly need to pay for parking or order at a restaurant or whatever. Ever seen one of those in the wild? Me neither.\n\nHere\u2019s the deal: there is already a vibrant, successful, universally-accessible \u201cmini-app\u201d platform which can give you access to information, goods, and services at a moment\u2019s notice. It\u2019s called the web. And the web doesn\u2019t just reign supreme on \u201ccomputers\u201d\u2014it\u2019s every bit as vital to the world of mobile devices as well. We take it for granted. We even throw stones at it. (How many times have you heard the refrain native apps are better than responsive websites?!) And yet\u2026the web is always there, chugging along, making mobile networked computing tick.\n\nI realize I\u2019m only a single data point, but for the sake of discussion, here\u2019s the latest weekly Screen Time report from my iPhone.\n\n\n\n(Yeah, I know, I\u2019m addicted to Twitter!)\n\nLet\u2019s break this list down a bit:\n\nTwitter: one could argue that the Twitter app is simply a specialized web browser. You read/reply to messages and tap links. Guess where those links go? The web. Twitter\u2019s little more than a \u201cportal\u201d (to use an old-fashioned term) to the web.\n  Castro: a podcast player, which if you think about it is also a specialized web browser. All it really does is provide a way to play the audio files provided through RSS feeds from around the web. And those links in the show notes for a given podcast? Web sites all.\n  Safari: goes without saying what this is for\u2026 \ud83d\ude04\n  Messages/Music: (OK sure, this is proprietary Apple stuff.)\n  Discord/Reddit/YouTube: while these are native apps, all they\u2019re doing is surfacing the exact same web-based content I would see if I logged onto their websites. And any external links in those apps will kick me back onto the web. So\u2026yet again\u2026these are really just specialized web browsers.\nIt\u2019s interesting to refer back to Steve Jobs\u2019 original pitch for the iPhone: a phone, an iPod, an internet communications device. 14 years later,  it turns out that last concept has vastly overshadowed the first two.
