Do you think it's possible for a web app to utilize caching?
We may be in a position right now where WebGL is new-ish but this is changing and 5-10 years from now the difference between a native and webapp likely won't be much. It seems silly to argue that users should go through an extra step / give large amounts of trust to an application if they don't need to.
- wtetzner 8y ago> users should go through an extra step / give large amounts of trust If it's a webapp, then you have to trust that the application won't disappear overnight, or be changed it ways you don't like. If you have downloaded the software, you can continue to use it. There are trade-offs in both directions.
- ddtaylor 8y agoGood point.
- bayesian_horse 8y agoCaching is imperfect, and software does change from time to time. WebGL is great, and can be used to great effect. Blender, at least since 2.8, is definitely exceeding whatever WebGL could provide.
