The article does a really good job outlining the problem: 1. The web is losing ground to mobile apps. The New York Times should have been the perfect use case for the web, yet they are a native app on mobile platforms. If we extrapolate this rate of change, five years from now people will be self-publishing blog apps instead of sending you a URL. 2. That's because the web lags behind native apps in features and polish of user experience. 3. Which is because innovation on the web is gated on major browser vendors, who are slow and prone to political infighting (e.g. over video codecs). 4. The only way for little guys to add features to the web (e.g. video) is to make browser plugins (e.g. Flash). So the crusade against Flash and plugins was a bad thing. Then the article goes on to propose a solution that I don't think is very good, but hey, at least it's a try. |
