I use plenty of things in a browser, but if I'm gonna scroll something daily... I want that image viewer with tap slide zoom. I want that specific folder that the app saves shit to instead of just "downloads". etc. etc.

I don’t understand the people who don’t want apps.

I’m not looking for an argument -you do you. But I don’t understand your desire to not install things.

I have enough issues with being a chronic tab hoarder without having another website that will inevitably be open on multiple tabs over time. Is this a me problem? Probably 😁

Also for websites you use a lot, it’s nice to have a dedicated app for it. I don’t want an app for ever single website but a well built app tailored to work on the system in a seamless native way is fantastic.

It’s a you problem, but not really a unique one. I scroll through Lenny on desktop, open everything that seems interesting in a background tab and half the time I never even switch to them. With Memmy, I either look into a post right away or keep scrolling. I’ve just gotten used to that way of browsing because most sites don’t take you back to where you were before but generate new random content. Reddit is especially bad at this. Apps do a pretty good job at going back to exactly where you were before without reloading the site.

Having a dedicated app is just more convenient in most cases. And apps generally offer more features and QoL improvements compared to a site. After using memmy for about a month I can’t use the official site, especially on mobile.
