you mean the days when most software had to be manually installed on your Windows? :-)

Yeah, web is not only about documents these days (how it was originally intended) but it is also about running and hosting real-time applications.

But I hear you, people indeed use wrong technology to solve their problems. I agree that there is no need to use any React and Angular to display a document.

That's how an app works now. Here is a program to do something external to the browser.
