My wife is one of these people. We couldn't be more different in that regard. I loathe apps and generally only install them when there's no alternative. She seems to either not understand or trust websites, and wants an app.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Every time I grab her phone I get dizzy and lost from the hundreds of apps. When she grabs mine, she wonders how I accomplish anything at all.



Your wife probably just wants a smooth user experience and an app delivers on that. Apps have a clear way of installing and onboarding.

I discovered that all our self hosted applications were easily adopted after I added SSO. My wife just wants one account to rule them all.

I got her accustomed to installing web apps by adding all the links in a shared note. She clicks the link, pins the site and uses SSO to log in. Easy.

To a certain extent, I fall in this camp. With privacy in general.

Without dedicating my life to it I won't be able to beat the system I live in, so why not just accept it and take what I can from it?
