Yes because the developers on HN can make good graphical apps using cross platform frameworks unlike the

- DANmode 3y agoYou're equating webapps with cross-platform frameworks, so we'll just talk past each other. None of what you mentioned is all of "what webapps are", just a short list of shortcuts to the technical definition of one.
