Unlike traditional web apps, OneDrive Photos is actually quite well built. It has a Windows 11-like Acrylic design for the context menu and does not take up a huge amount of resources, as RAM usage stays under 1GB

Excuse me, a photo gallery that takes 1gb of RAM, especially in this economy, doesn't seem "quite well built".

This fucking web app wrappers, Picasa had 100x more features while using 50x less resources

    Is it actually doing it in-device? Given that it's attached to OneDrive, I was rather under the impression that it was just offloading the processing to their servers.

    If the "native" Windows app it's running on a dedicated browser and coded with web tech, it's still a web app even if it's an .exe

    Did you know that Picasa could still group people by facial recognition in windows XP with 1 gb of ram in TOTAL? (Clarifying: 1gb to the whole system, not only a single app)

    And are you sure that the indexing is running locally? Because it's called "onedrive photos", not "windows photos", so they can totally do the indexing on the cloud.
