Why I love devRant? Cause it redirects me to my good old browser after clicking on a link instead of open such a f*****g build in shit!

That's a little feature in apps called "WebView" (not sure about iOS here).

May or may not be useful depending on the use.

LOL! I think this is my new all time most favorite rant! You just went and summed up all the bullshit and inefficiency of fake ass HTML-JavaScript based mobile wrappers like phonegap Cordova and react....... and their 'wanna-be' / 'poser' engineers that use them!! ..... yup that's right... I just went and dropped that bomb :0

@ThatDude yup I agree and that's exactly what WebView and UIWebView were actually meant for... and not for 'attempting' to build full sized scalable applications ;(

@greenhouse Some of my collegues who work on these JS mobile framework regret using it. They complain, saying that it's riddled with compatibility and high memory consumption issues.

@avitron yeah I could MAYBE see some logic with prototypes for duel compatibility... but if it's a prototype, then there is probably little need for duel compatibility. it makes no sense. JS by nature is single threaded, lacks type casting, decorators, notifications, mediators, efficient lambdas, etc... all the major design patterns that support efficient memory allocation which allow for seamless ui transitioning or thread prioritization for network support, are either lacking or grossly misappropriated with extremely complex script inclusions that most devs are surely incapable of debugging on their own.... and its sad that hardworking Entrepreneurs are sold on these solutions and wind up with shitty products that freeze up, never make it to market, and are completely unscalable.... if anyone has detailed evidence to refute my assessments... I would love to read a rebuttal that demos a JS based mobile app that does not delay on event handling like a normal browser based websites
