@ipg wasn't exactly About your post more just me thinking out loud, but yeah that makes a lot of sense. i always used to get spotify as a uwp back in the day because it was essentially the same as the exe that they gave you from the website, so im guessing anything electron based would be okay for an app unless it spawns another window
games, emulators are kinda perfect for that since yeah its all bespoke.
it sucks its one of those "the damage has been done" type things. imagine we had the integration between desktop, console, phone that would've been possible had it been adopted (and windows mobile still alive lol) i guess thats kinda (in practice not really?) happened on macs
im just wondering because a big things about stuff like that is that ms will have the only store and control basically everything but if you can sideload them then there's no other reasons for devs to bitch other than "That's how we've always done things!"
at what point do i go "ugh this article is advertising a book" to "oh i wanna know about why the tfl is very lgbt friendly and there's an entire book for me that this article is showing?"
