Show HN: My wife is pregnant; naturally I made a baby-name app to prepare

But how do you know if it should be an app? It seems like we need a ShouldThisBeAnApp app where you can upload screenshots, descriptions, API diagrams, etc. and allow AI + community input to make the determination.

In this case it's very easy: if all the functionality can be run in the browser, which already is an app installed on my computer, don't make it an app. At least not a native one.

No more apps! Only websites!

There should be a ShouldThisBeAnApp website, and a ShouldThisBeAWebsite app :D

Make it a ShouldThisBeAMobileAppOrWebAppOrNativeApp service that has a native implementation on all these platforms.

What if you don't want an app and you just want to consume an API? I'm thinking a better name would be ShouldThisBeAMobileAppOrWebAppOrNativeAppOrAWebService.
