tchart Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 19, 2020 #2 Uh that's a pretty dumb headline. Firstly web apps != Electron apps. Web apps are going nowhere. Electron will be on ARM based Mac soon enough given Chrome is already running on it and most of Electron is Chrome under the hood. Sure native iOS apps are neat but they are sandboxed and aren't always as functional as proper applications. Upvote 0

That's not accurate however we can expect a port of Java + JavaFX to run on the new Macs (also possible that current Java will run). cklester said: “Apple Silicon Mac Is About To Kill Web Apps” by Anupam Chugh https://link.medium.com/Ve2kTcr4wbb Click to expand... B4J desktop apps have nothing to do with web apps (and the blog title is indeed misleading). Upvote 0
