Can you provide some examples of complex web apps you consider to be substantially slower than their native equivalents?
[Edit] I'll take the downvotes as evidence you can't.
For example, I use https://app.diagrams.net/ https://app.diagrams.net/ for diagramming. I don't find it to be any slower than native equivalents like Visio.
I use https://www.figma.com/ https://www.figma.com/ for UI design. I don't find it to be any slower than native equivalents like Sketch.
I use Google Docs for word processing. I don't find it to be any slower than native equivalents like Word.
- lifty 6y agoOk, I think there really is a difference in how people perceive slowdowns. - Google Docs is substantially slower than MS Word, especially when you have more content inside. - app.diagrams.net seems to be quite good with the few shapes I added - gmail is much slower for me than the native Mac email app - Slack is very slow compared to something like Telegram native on the mac, or even Zoom. - VS Code feels worse and worse with every release. They are adding more feature but I feel its less and less responsive. - Google Calendar is slower than the native Mac calendar app. These are a few apps that I heavily use on a daily basis. I won't say the web apps can't get decent performance. But I think on average you get better performance on native, and if you put the same amount of effort in performance tuning, the results you get on native are unachievable on web apps.
