What about for getting quotes on insurance? Or booking a restaurant? Or a flight or hotel? Submitting your taxes? Getting printable directions to a trailhead? Proving feedback on someone’s Figma document? Previewing a 3D model before getting it printed…

Is it your preference to install a new local first desktop application any time you wish to do any of these things?

That depends where the data and the logic all. If they only store the data, but I’m doing all the computation, it may as well be a local app (figma, the 3d viewer..) or at least have an API so I can build my own interface.

I’m not against Web Apps, but many take my browser as free real estate.
