Web apps deliver scientifically non-reproducible results and have obvious privacy implications. As a consequence, people cannot use them to design a PCB, simulate a circuit, drive a production line and everything like that on professional scale.
Yes, Web is a damn good technology for distribution, consumption and communication, but I vaguely imagine a situation when a professional relies on Web to do the real manufacturing job on a daily basis with guaranteed, stable and reproducible outcomes.
Please note that enterprise is a huge paying market. You cannot ignore it, as it lies behind everything you can buy in this world.
- jenscow 9y agoBut, would you consider UWP being appropriate with those types of applications? I mean, if an application is well suited for UWP, then it's probably better off as a web app.
- mcaravey 9y agoFor example : I used to work for a power system analysis company that built a UWP app for use by engineers while on the floor of a factory or something similar. Is used for drawing electrical diagrams, data capture, and there had been plans for some level of analysis in the app too. But the main reason it is a UWP app is the touch interface. Not really feasible as a web app, especially if there's no internet on the factory floor. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/easypower-onsite/9nblggh5ggfk https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/easypower-onsite/9nb...
