Yes, and in that case perhaps you should not be creating a web app anymore. The web is not the only platform for software development and nor should it be in my opinion.
- mindcrime 15y agoI find it a bit amusing, albeit rather sad, that you got downvoted for saying that. You're exactly right, of course... the web (that is, html/css/js over http) is NOT the only way to distribute apps, and it isn't appropriate for everything. Unfortunately, this war has been lost, in the minds of developers in general. Nearly everyone seems to think that the web-browser is a modern day X server, and that it's The One True Way to remote out UIs or to distribute apps. I do wish people would look beyond this and consider some other options and invest some time and energy on some of the other choices, but it just ain't happening for the most part.
