Web apps not in the normal sense. You get to design a desktop application that takes advantage of web technologies, but gives you full native access with projects like Electron and NW.js so it's really native apps built on top of web technologies, which a browser is pretty native. Instead of having to download Qt or another C++ toolkit and worry about the lincensing, you download a 30MB browser (or however big it is) that is MIT licensed, and comes with Node.js out of the box giving you all of Node without having installed Node to begin with. It's really interesting in my opinion.
