I don't understand why everything these days need to have an app? For example, in the case of #Wikipedia, what does the app provide that the browser cannot? As far as I understand the situation, this is bad financial expenditure. The money that was spent on making and maintaining the app could be used on website, content curation, infrastructure, etc.
The "this app could be a webpage" is analogous to "this meeting could be an email".

Its oldest surviving structures date from the 12th century, including a keep with walls up to 4 metres (13 ft) thick.

Still an alpha phase, so don't be shy and share your feedback with me. Also, hopefully my hosting will withstand the map data flow :-)

🌍 How quickly do global changes reach Wikipedias in different languages?
To answer that question, Wikidata co-founder Denny Vrandečić used the mayor of Paris as a case study. Over the last five years, the number of Wikipedias relying on Wikidata to present the current mayor rose from 8 to 47, a whopping 488% increase -- which shows just how much Wikipedia now relies on Wikidata.

not a fan of wikipedias increased usage of dark patterns like the big ad banner for their app that tries to open the app store if i don’t press the tiny close button just right and the distracting pulsating blue dot that wants me to use their bespoke bookmark service. i don’t want either of these, wikipedia. i have a fucking web browser for using your site and it comes with bookmarks built in if i want them

Tänään tuli #Wikipedia'a selaillessa vastaan tämä, ja sai taas miettiä #historia'nkirjojen liioittelua. Procopiuksen väittämän mukaan piirityksen päätteeksi gootit olisivat teloittaneet Milanon koko miespuolisen väestön, 300 000 miestä. Tässä mietityttää a) oliko kaupungissa tosiaan yli 600 000 asukasta, b) kauanko 300 000 miehen teloittaminen kestää ja c) miten ruumiista päästiin eroon? Vrt. saksalaisten tuhoamisleirien tehokkuus.
