I love it, man. It's my favorite way to build stuff. I could show it all day long. Uh, and maybe we should do that sometime. Maybe I should just, it's been all podcasts talking through how much I love as a CB three.

Yeah, that's what you've been doing. I'm working on a mobile app. I'm not a mobile developer.

Yeah, we're trying to get the mobile app out. We've had an iOS app for years. We've never had an Android app. But the iOS app has been out there, and it's just not the same as our website. It's just a very different thing. And literally every time we tweet like some cool new thing we did, anytime we tweet like product stuff, it's like we need an app. We don't care. We want an app.

Give us an app, bro. Like everybody just wants a native app. And I don't relate to that. Like I guess like maybe because I'm a web developer, I just want the web to be enough. It's like we have a website. It's great. It looks good on mobile. Choose website. People don't care. They want an app. And it's like normie people.

That's true. They just use phones now. They don't have to get on a computer if they're not doing knowledge work, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I guess like that is what what is. So this is a good topic. What is the fundamental difference between native apps and a good web app? Like, why does it just feel worse in a web browser? I know it does, but I can't articulate why.

That's what I want to know. What is it limited by? Like, what are the laws of physics? If we go first principles here, why can't a browser have as responsive of scroll and touch as a native app? And I was joking about the first principles. I was maiming. I'm not that guy. Please don't make fun of me. Sorry. Sometimes I am that guy sometimes. So I have to clarify when I'm joking.

It's like inception.

Yeah. So I guess like if you implemented your, so I've got like a React Native app. It's actually Expo. And it's a like, whatever. It's got normal native stuff in it. It's got some web views. But if I like somehow implemented the StatMuse website in a canvas, let's just assume I went through that pain. Do you think it would feel as good as a native app? I think it could. Really?

People build games in Canvas. And in a browser, it feels good?
