    It’s better than an app without Linux version comrade

      Just write a linux version, then. Programming isn’t hard.

        What? Lmao. I was using Linux for many years - I assure you no one was writing Linux apps bro.
        So I’ll gladly take a webpage as a aservice.

    The funny thing for me is that my job is like 80% webpages in LibreWolf on my Linux machine. But that’s because the company uses M365 and Github.

    I use various different programs for different reasons just like anybody, but I bet browser + vscode + terminal covers 95% of my work day.

  Anyone who wants to own what they create and doesn’t want their work stolen for some startup’s plagiarism engine. Anyone who is interested in privacy. Anyone who wants a consistent user experience. Anyone who wants to be exempt from sinister targeted advertising. Anyone who is worried about censorship.

  Me, who uses low end hardware and can’t spend several gigabytes for simple web apps that I can run locally for 10% of the hardware resources of the web equivalent.

    But Linux versions don’t exist on most cases. I was making a point that a web version accessible to Linux user is better than nothing at all.

      That’s true. Your first comment was a bit confusing, sorry.

  I would say that most people who own a computer use local apps, and that the experience, and long-term costs, of using a local program is often better than doing something completely cloud-based.

  They use data from webtraffic to make their charts, so talking about local apps doesn’t really have much to do with this website.
