> It's all pixels on a screen. Any design asset you can whip up, with whatever animations and effects, can be rendered identically on a web, or native mobile/desktop app. The issue is that no one bothers to do all the OS integrations you get for free when you make a native app. Also, every web app I've used that pretends to be a desktop app has issues that make it feel off. Using Discord as an example; I have to focus the title bar before I can use the minimize/maximize window buttons - unlike every native macOS app. I run into this almost every day. I'm not denying that web applications are useful, but if you want something really high quality, native is the only solution in my opinion. I was hopeful that web applications could offer a really great way to make cross-platform applications. After trying some frameworks out, and following the web standards more closely, I'm pretty pessimistic. The complexity of web browsers is out of control and I don't think they'll ever be comparable to native apps.
