What qualifies as a "desktop application" these days?
Is it any application designed primarily to work on a laptop or desktop form factor? A web application like SketchUp would qualify.
Is it an application whose code is only stored locally, even if they don't work well with a laptop/desktop form factor? Any number of native mobile apps would qualify.
What about a PWA that is cached locally but initially loaded via a URL?
