Zero money in web apps? You mean like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitch, Netflix, and YouTube?
There's way more money is web apps than desktop apps. hands down. I'm not talking about mobile because this is a convo about electron.
- wvenable 10y agoDesktop apps like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Photoshop? I too can pick a few ridiculous outliers. Honestly I'm not sure if you're right or wrong but either way that argument isn't good.
