It’s much easier to share a link to a Discord server than it is to convince your friends/family to install an app. Packaging and distribution alone would take up most of your development time - a semester is only 15 weeks. (This is why I used to do web-based projects.)

Discord also supports some simple UI elements - images, buttons, form fields, and dropdowns - so it’s a nice step above a CLI for teaching UX, which is part of the course.
