Meanwhile I ignore most of the posts here that are Apple-related, this one was able to draw my attention. Checked the 'how it works' page and was impressed how easily Claude made the 32-to-64 bit ARM translator for you. We need more effort of this kind for the x86 ecosystem, generated or not, but the mobile-app-everything culture becomes really annoying and needs to be fought this way.
Claude didn't make this, the author did.
Claude is listed as a credited contributor, so Claude did make this.
Doesn't this instead just exacerbate the problem allowing the mobile app for everything dogma to exist more easily?
That's already here.
Also it's way worse than that, since most things are written in React Native or some other cross-platform framework, then that's wrapped in a mobile app, then you try to access a website to do some trivial task that the Web is great at (Place a takeout order or pay $6 for parking) and are told to download a 500MB "App"... and create an account... 'we sent a code to your email, go check it...' 'Ask App not to track?' 'Allow location?' etc)
