I agree. Browser APIs don't have as much coverage as native APIs, but I would say that by far most UIs should be in the browser nowadays.
Quake can run in the browser, so in my opinion so can the likes of Photoshop. Maybe the latest AAA game is a different beast, but that's a tiny edge case.
Websites instead of apps on mobile is something that basically always sucks, but I don't see the same on desktop.
Just build your UIs in WASM already. :-)

It's been done.
- WorldPeas 24d agogio with golang is a great place to start imo
- necovek 24d ago> Websites instead of apps on mobile is something that basically always sucks I find it's the opposite: on my computer, I want native apps, but on the phone, it is very hard to manage a large collection of single use apps because I do not have a keyboard to quickly navigate between them.
- pipe2devnull 24d agoIf you are on an iPhone you can add a website to the Home Screen and it functions as a dedicated app essentially and the opened instance is treated separately from safari
- not2b 24d agoIt is the same on Android.
- necovek 24d agoUhm, I am saying that I do not want a 100 apps (website-based or native) on my phone because this is hard to manage without better human-computer interfaces like a big screen and physical keyboard. So I am not sure how making a web page into an app actually helps me? When they are a web page I frequent, typing a few letters in the browser URL bar gives me the URL to click on and get there.
- pipe2devnull 23d agoYou can type into the search bar to search for apps on your phone. I don’t really bother with things on my home screen
- necovek 23d agoAt least on my up-to-date Pixel phone, home screen search bar only searches the web (by default).
