What Are Desktop and Web Apps?
Both the platform has provided a huge effect on the process of application throughout the development of software. With the introduction of various cross-platform apps, the gap has been getting progressively narrower. In this article, we’ll understand why solutions are better on desktop software and not on a website for all your E-commerce platforms and their required processes.
But First, Let’s see what is the difference between web and desktop applications.
Desktop Applications
A software application that you can directly install and use on your personal computer is called a desktop application. You can launch it whenever you want independently of other applications. They take up your hard drive space and need an internet connection, although some applications can work regardless of internet connection. Although some apps need it to function as intended (web browsers like Chrome or Firefox, for example) they are still considered desktop apps since they are installed on your PC.
Web Applications
A software application that can be used through the internet via a web browser, instead of installing on your PC is called a Web application. A web app allows you to access the app and its content and also runs all the scripts responsible for its features. What differentiates a simple static web page from a web application is interactivity. They often allow you to create, edit, or manipulate data and content.
