Comment on Ask HN: What do you think about app native vs. portable look-and-feel?

Comments

If the app is useful, nobody cares.

If it isn’t useful, it doesn’t matter.

Sure some developers have strong opinions about this…and if you are selling to developers those opinions matter (most commonly, a job interview ).

But apps are gonna be shit for other reasons and the attraction of native-or-not is that fixing those reasons are much harder. Even when you choose to use theory to make GUI choice to add to complexity of development).

Or to put it another way, the simplest thing that might work means you stay working instead of thinking (thinking != working). Good luck.
