I fully agree! The libraries of Oslo use Libby for digital non-Norwegian audiobooks, e-books and comics, and the user experience is light years ahead of the one they use for Norwegian content.

I initially didn’t know about the web interface, and was pleasantly surprised to find it has feature parity with the app.

The native Libby apps have downloads/offline access and you can dismiss all the ux/window chrome while reading. The web interface doesn’t offer those features.

The web interface is a nice-to-have backup but Libby has discontinued development on their Windows app and keeps redirecting to the web interface which isn’t a suitable full substitute. There are great Windows tablet hardware that paired well with Libby and no other platform quite matches it for comics

If you install the Libby webapp (Edge or Chrome), it works just like a normal program, including showing up in the list of installed programs (start menu). No offline support, although there's no reason Libby couldn't add it using a service worker.
