Everything old is new again.

'offline' apps, 'local' cloud. Its the future!

Web apps are boon to linux people. Most companies would not even bother developing for linux first

personally I havent found a webapp that I need, or even doesn't just make me think a normal app would be better.

That's not to say I disagree though. The tech world is very good at creating monopolies.

Why would i install some hundreds of mbs of apps when i am complaining about javascript.

Because you don't have the redownload libreoffice everytime you want to write something?

Theres Ted if you cant stretch to libreoffice though. https://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/

> You havent heard of LibreOffice?

Don't be disingenuous. The thread's about Firefox and JavaScript. It's quite clear @tehlike wasn't talking about native desktop apps, but web apps.

I dont disagree that web apps would not exist if web apps did not exist.
