As it should, since one is a clock, the other a web browser.
Interesting stuff. Cross platform development is inspiring.

I write native.
I do tend to release apps in UIKit, so I don't quite achieve Buzzword Bingo, but I have always been a fan of native apps, and have watched the various efforts to avoid native, with the kind of sick fascination usually reserved for train wrecks.
I am quite aware that it is not the ideal "business posture," but that's how I roll.
I've been writing for Apple platforms, pretty much exclusively, since 1986.
By now, Safari should be so snappy it opens your pages and have their document tree ready two seconds before you think of doing it.
Linking more libraries slows down launch due to initialization that happens to get the libraries ready to use. Besides that it's mostly what the app itself is doing on startup.
So yes, beating Safari for a tiny app is… a good thing, but not very impressive.
Yeah. Surely a better statistic to be had.here. System preferences?
