I would say that most people who own a computer use local apps, and that the experience, and long-term costs, of using a local program is often better than doing something completely cloud-based.
Anyone who wants to own what they create and doesn’t want their work stolen for some startup’s plagiarism engine. Anyone who is interested in privacy. Anyone who wants a consistent user experience. Anyone who wants to be exempt from sinister targeted advertising. Anyone who is worried about censorship.
What? Lmao.
I was using Linux for many years - I assure you no one was writing Linux apps bro.
So I’ll gladly take a webpage as a service. Windows /Mac devs can keep doing what they were doing, I don’t care as long there is a web version.
Me, who uses low end hardware and can’t spend several gigabytes for simple web apps that I can run locally for 10% of the hardware resources of the web equivalent.
Everything is online.
Who even needs to run local apps anymore?

They use data from webtraffic to make their charts, so talking about local apps doesn’t really have much to do with this website.

I seriously don’t want everything to be a god damn webpage.
It’s better than an app without Linux version comrade
Just write a linux version, then. Programming isn’t hard.

But native linux versions don’t exist on most cases. I was making a point that a web version accessible to Linux user is better than nothing at all.
That’s true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.
