    I sometimes use online apps when I need something specific and Christ that’s like the 6th level of hell on my old slow phone… Tho honestly I can’t imagine how an online app can ever be equal to a local one

      Why not? It’s just a web app. It’s not really about the underlying tech making it inferior but about the device interface.

      I mean your meme is funny but you could’ve made it even in Paint. The other tools are on another level.

        Cuz they just tend to be slow. I don’t know how these apps behave on a 1500€ phone, but I had a pretty beefy computer at my disposal these last 2 years and web apps are just always slower, usually much slower.

        And back to phones, the UI of graphics web apps rarely considers them. Or they simplify the UI to the point of being unusably dumb.

        And Paint… Yes true, but again do you understand “phone”?
