Disconnection doesn't necessarily mean Broken Web App

I was wrong about something yesterday…

Peter-Paul Koch unambiguously sets this straight

Let’s debunk one argument. It is perfectly possible to write an offline Web app for Safari iPhone. The browser supports appcache and local storage for storing the application and its data, respectively.

Both Web apps and native apps can work offline. Thus this argument has no value.

I still think web apps suck. They suck on a desktop. Running them on a phone, with a fraction of the clock speed, a fraction of the cores, a fraction of the RAM, and they're going to suck an order of magnitude more.
