I like https://airtable.com/ https://airtable.com/, https://linear.app/ https://linear.app/, and https://height.app/ https://height.app/. They are all pushing the limits of interactive web apps, not always entirely successfully, but the overall product experience is mostly smooth and polished. I wouldn't really be able to say what it means to be "considered good UX by webdev standards," but I develop for the web and I like these three.

They look so awesome... wait... neither of them has a working demo at the top of the front page. There is no need to try to talk me into loving something - it wont work. Just show me as many working demos as it takes and show me code. Clearly I'm not the audience. Happy it works for you tho :)

  I’m not trying to trick you into liking something and I wasn’t intending to provide demos. They require creating an account because they are serious productivity tools, not cute demos.

    Not you. I was referring to the way the sites are structured nowadays. Here, this seems a nice place to demo the dog food? https://www.airtable.com/integrations https://www.airtable.com/integrations

> they are all pushing the limits of interactive web apps I wonder if you realise that "pushing the limits of interactive web apps" has about as much functionality as Norton Commander/DOS Navigator from the 1990s? It's a damning fact for the web platform that what is "pushing the limits of interactive web apps" is literally nothing more than tables and lists.

  I absolutely realize that! And indeed, that’s the whole point: to have web apps with the rich interactivity, responsiveness and performance, accessibility, etc. of good native apps. We’re really not there yet, but we’re making progress.
