Unfortunately, a vast majority of WebApps are hot garbage and even the good ones can never be as functional or as performative as a native app. We have such powerful machines, but we relegate them to such a horrible method of using them.
- cyberax 2y agoWebApps (even though I hate most of them) absolutely can be as fast as native apps. E.g.: Linear, Slack. But it requires very careful engineering.
- neverartful 2y agoIn my experience they are not nearly as fast.
- 6510 2y agoVery few components are needed to make a bare bones web browser that is more of a vm. It would need one or more advantages over normal www browsers. Applications could be memory, and computationally heavy, it could store its data locally with some guarantees, it could run conventional web application on very crappy hardware. A new platform also offers countless opportunities to do new things or do things differently. That list is endless.
