It CAN BE amazing in certain situations. Ceo tomfoolery is what’s making generative Ai become a joke to the average user.

Gotta take a waterfall approach

As a non developer - why does this require some sort of installation? The general idea of a search engine is “go to a website and it helps you search for websites”.

If nobody is getting fired HR won’t be there

no, they can’t. they would have to install software on your phone/computer to do so, and that triggers a whole bunch of warnings.

If you read the link you sent, you’ll see that those tools don’t exist on most websites - it’s a dedicated software for screen recording so product managers can understand how users use the site.

It’s actually a great example to highlight what I said - on most websites, you can’t track detailed user behavior, only clicks and the time of the click. You need to install software to find that out. On apps, you can track where the user scrolls, where they stop scrolling/scroll more slowly, and a lot more.

On a website, all you know is that the user took 2 minutes between loading the page and clicking button X. On an app, you can see that the user scrolled on the right edge (probably right handed), paused along the way at section A, exited the app (maybe they got a notification), came back to scroll down and click on button X.

Websites can track clicks like you said, but on top of that, apps can track where exactly on the screen you tap, how long you scroll, where on the page you paused to look, etc.

there are a bunch of other things they can track that aren’t considered “tracking requests”. time you spend on each page, whether you click a new popup, etc.

when i don’t use a site often, i don’t want to waste 200MB of space installing the app.

it’s fine for an app to have more functions than the website, but some companies cripple their mobile website functions just to get people to download the app so they can track user behavior more. sites that do that just make me stop using them. looking at you, tripadvisor and yelp.
