What is the biggest limitation of making/using webapps?
I’m thinking that when you use localstorage, offline-browsing and geo-abilities thaht you get from html5 the differences are quite small (except for games).
The great benefit from using webapps is that they are cross-platfrom compatible!
One of the biggest limitation is access to hardware. You can’t access USB ports, specialized hardware you might have (printers, bardcode readers), and other stuff, and of course, you don’t have access to some very important APIs that you need today to run games (DirectX, OpenGL).
But I agree: every day they are fewer reasons to not go with a WebApp instead of a Native APP.
