Point is, most normal computer usage absolutely should NOT require a 10TB SSD and 256GB ram. It didn't for providing the same/more functionality a few years ago

Point is, most normal computer usage absolutely should NOT require a 10TB SSD and 256GB ram. It didn't for providing the same/more functionality a few years ago, why does it suddenly require these days?
- la12 7y agoBecause a web-app is the only way you can monetize a desktop app like functionality in 2019. Linux desktop toolkits and dev environment utterly sucks. You'll have to develop 3 different codebases for Win, Mac and Linux. Worse still, you'll have to reinvent app updates technology if you go with Qt or will be tied into a different updating technology and still have to deal with piracy problems. Or you could go with web-apps: -> Easy to develop code -> Can't be pirated -> In built model of regular payments -> One codebase for all platforms It's not even a close fight.
