What’s your guys general thought on how everything is web based now? For me, I don’t really like it. I would just rather have an actual program that runs. But I am merely a user, not a programmer.

    I used to be like this too. I thought it would be too mainstream to have a website rather than a natively compiled application running on the computer…

    And then my friend in high school started this thing on his laptop… a website… it was server side rendered… pretty satisfying… Then it took off…

    I think the web can be nice with the right mix. I’m personally not too fan of these pages that are just white if you don’t turn on JavaScript. It’s just a feeling, nothing special. From a business perspective it makes sense, to throw all the rendering to the devices to save cost.
