Pwa vs desktop app

PWA (Progressive Web Apps) are web apps that you save from your browser as a “desktop app”. It's still a web app, but you open it as if it were a desktop app. Electron apps are desktop apps developed with web technologies. You install them just like desktop apps, and often the developer also offers a web version.

Can PWA be used on desktop?

With a PWA, you can use a single codebase that's shared between your website, mobile app, and desktop app (across operating systems).

What is the difference between a PWA and a regular app?

While native apps are written to run on mobile devices, PWAs are written to run inside a web browser. Native apps are developed with the programming languages of each platform (Objective-C and Swift for iOS and Java for Android), whereas, PWA uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Which is better desktop application or web application?

Better performance

In general, desktop applications are faster than web-based ones, run independently on your computer, and do not require proper connection to the Internet. In this case, independency from web brings a positive result.
