We don't hate the Web
summary
Flipkart claims browsers block essential native features so they move core experiences into apps; they cite 18,796 Android devices as impossible to test and report 7,800 one‑star ratings in three days after app issues. Engineers build a single‑page site with node.js server‑side composition, a heavy React web app and a hybrid using webview plus native bridge; on good networks the hybrid feels near‑native and some experiments outperform expectations, but platforms keep leapfrogging them.
