What is Web App?
A web app is software that runs in your browser instead of being installed on your device.
You access it through a URL like any website, but it does real work like Gmail, Notion, or Figma. No downloads, no updates to manage, works on any device with a browser.
Most builders ship web apps because you can push updates instantly to everyone, skip the app store approval process, and write code once for every platform. The trade-off is you need an internet connection and can't access device features as easily as native apps.
Built with JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, or Next.js. Can be deployed on platforms like Vercel or Netlify in minutes.
