Quote by Alex Russell@mira_inam

40. The web
always wins.

41. Developers don’t want to build 3 separate
apps for the major platforms. Companies
don’t want to pay for development of 3
apps.
The answer to all this is the web. We can
build rich web apps—Progressive Web
Apps—and package them for all the app
stores.”
