Web Apps have their place. Native apps are usually better, and this whole "X as a service" thing is trash, but I like Gmail, and I think web is the best IoT interface platform.
The problem is when someone makes an HTML document, but wraps it up as an app for no good reason, without taking care to preserve the nice properties of documents.
As far as I'm concerned, Markdown is the ideal tool for creating just basic documents.
The dev community might just hate it, but I'd love to see some of the stuff traditionally done with a CMS in the browser, so we can just plop markdown files on a server. If you give it a CSS file it uses that, otherwise it uses browser default styling.
It would make it ridiculously easy to "make a website", maybe even easy enough to save the idea of a personal site.
And it would load absolutely insanely fast, even on 2G.
