And desktop “apps”
Half of them are just fancy electron javascript websites
And it's always the sites that you want to have apps that don't. For example I use twitch daily, there are days where I don't even open up a web browser aside from just to watch twitch.
My current work around is I have an electron app that I've coded which is essentially for now just a wrapper of the twitch websites follow page and built in user script functionality to have frankenzface. But the fact that twitch discontinued their native app is obnoxious to me.
Every other video website under the moon has an app, but for some reason twitch can't manage to do this
Apparently, it isn’t too hard to craft an electron out of third party JS
