This has a solved problem for a long time

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

It’s a design tool. Why communicate it with text?

Seriously though. And this is a design company?

If there were any semblance of liability for software engineering firms things like this wouldn’t happen

GC can be very slow. Relying on it for control flow is a bold move

I don't think the control flow relies on GC.

The control flow stops because statements after `await new Promise(() => {});` will never run.

GC is only relied upon to not create a memory leak, but you could argue it's the same for all other objects.

as long as there's no leak interrupting a promise should be good for performance overall, not necessarily for the front-end but for the whole chain.

They forgot the bit where Alice could barely make rent and ate trash for a year while she worked 70hr weeks for a poverty-line stipend. Bob had great sleeps and could hold a part time job waiting tables.

NYT occasionally uses fancy interactive articles. They have games, and other things that are better on the app. The NYT app is actually very good

For games I agree that an app makes sense (though I think at least the games I used to play were in a separate nyt games app). For interactive articles, I've not seen anything I couldn't use fine in my browser, but in theory I wouldn't mind covering up the interactive part with a "Open in the app for a better experience" button (similar to what YouTube does on the video portion of the page). Where I encounter this though is in standard, text-heavy articles that maybe include a photo or two.

I assume the reason they are pushing me to the app is that it benefits them not me (longer dwell times, maybe easier tracking for behavior/ads), and that is precisely why I want to stay in the browser. Covering up a good portion of the article and preventing me from scrolling until I click the tiny link to decline is hostile and is the only thing degrading the experience on the website for most articles I read.

Every time I end up trying an app for things like this, I end up missing tabs.

There is no reason they can’t have a native tab navigator. It kills me that Google maps app doesn’t have tabs.

Yeah true. Tabs, history, etc on the browser are unparalleled.

It depends. The parking app example is an example of an app I want, for so many reasons

I like that Programming for Music and Music for Programming are both on the front page together
