Fucking "app culture" drives me crazy. I got asked to install a mobile app just to look at the itinerary and accommodation information for a trip I'm going on.

Why isn't it just a web page?

So obviously I said "fuck that noise, hold my beer", reverse-engineered the app, and re-implemented it as a web page generator. It does all the same things as the "app" except now there's no tracking, no ads, and you get all the Web's features "for free" (deep links, copy-pasting, search-in-page, printing, works on anything, etc.).

Here's the full story:

Your ‘App’ Could Have Been a Webpage (so I fixed it for you…)

I was asked to install a mobile app to get access to the itinerary of a trip to Disneyland I'm taking with the kids.
