    As a software developer a website is not an app and a web app is not an app. A web app is a hybrid solution and calling it just an app is pure confusion for the end users. Always refer to your web app as a website for end users unless you want them to literally install an application.

      Just saying ‘nuh uh they’re different’ is not an argument or a rebuttal to my point that the code running them is literally identical.

      When you’re using Figma online that’s just a website? That’s not literally the entire Figma app running in web assembly?

      Yeah, the method of how a user gets a web app installed is different, but there is no real difference between the actual code of a web app and a natively installed app.
