It won't be a "full experience". It's amazing to me that people are talking about GUI apps and keep pretending that GUI-wise the web is anywhere on the same level as anything native. I wonder why the https://open-ui.org effort exists if that is the case (because it isn't, of course).



Because it's web apps an all the way down, even on native. Half the apps you use on mobile are augmented webviews.

And those almost invariably suck. A few try and invest in smooth-enough experience because customer retention affects their bottom line (e.g. Foodora is a suprisingly nice app), but those are not enough to say "You get the full experience".


Right, which I think is one of the reasons why apps have come to suck more and more. They aren't actually apps, they're just webpages.
