There are clear benefits to building web apps vs native apps. You only have to write a single web app and it runs virtually everywhere. Also, there is a huge pool of talent that corporations can tap into, people who know web development. It's a less specialized skill.
What I really wish existed is a kind of web browser with a greatly limited feature set, so many web apps wouldn't need to be so bloated.
- autoexec 2y agoThere are benefits to native apps too. Being able to work offline and not having your every action and input spied on in real time is a big one. It's all a question of trade offs. Users who prefer privacy, lower-resource consumption, offline use and more familiar/native interfaces will probably not want a web app. Users who don't care about their privacy and want a program avilable to them anywhere and anytime they have an internet connection might want a web app.
