Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.
They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?
After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.
Would you rather: Build with no-code or code it yourself?
Be honest: Are you team no-code for speed or team hand-coded for control? Personally, I think no-code is the future, that's why I am writing code for Paage.
I have already subscribed, am a paid customer, heavy promoted the start-up in peer groups, referred couple of paid customers. So, besides these what do I give him? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Budget - under $100
For those who celebrate, I'd love to hear about the present you love the most. For me it was my first *good* chef knife, partly because of just how good it is but mainly because of who it came from
