HTML5 is all about centralizing computation. It is pretty pointless to host a web app for one person's use; you can avoid many headaches and a lot of latency by running software locally. The only advantage network access has in that scenario is synchronizing data across multiple devices, but you do not need all the fancy HTML5 features or fast Javascript to do that; you just need a file sharing protocol.
- sp332 13y agoIt is not pointless to run a web app for one person's use. You could probably find a bunch of people here who do just that (I'm one of them). Standardization means that it's easy to move your data to any web service you like, and you can move your web app to any hosting provider you like. Even your own bedroom.
