PWAs!

(Packaged Web Applications)

At the time of writing this in 2020, PWAs can now do much of what people ask of a mobile and/or desktop app!

You can make a completely offline app, online only, or communicate with a server for updates via various APIs (I recommend webSockets)

If you need to do anything computationally heavy though, web technology may be inadequate for your needs.

The tools for compiling various languages such as (and especially) Rust to WASM have however matured to the point where is can be overcome in some cases.

But dropping down to WASM may be enough of an issue to the point where you should have started with a native framework.
