RE: Blazor popularity and use

It was always about the IT people though, not the users. Outlook as a web app is a good example. It has had enormous funds spent on producing it, likely far more than pretty much any other web app. But shown the web app and the desktop app, users pick the desktop one pretty much every time.

Yep, we talk about browsers like there’s consistency there. There still isn’t. And it’s a huge hit on productivity. I see so much lost effort trying to align pixels across different browsers, different versions of browsers, etc. It’s just silly. I remember being on a web app project. I was

My favourite was Brisbane’s Go Card. Had a friend driving busses in Brisbane, and when it was first released, they had the sensitivity wrong. He’d drive past a bus stop, and it would charge everyone standing there, even if they weren’t getting on. It fascinates me that we continue to feel the

Interesting that there’s been a discussion going on with the EU about this. They’re insisting that Apple allow “side-loading” of apps. In response, Apple has apparently said they’re splitting their app store with one for EU, and one for the rest of the world. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low
