Remember when iPhones were first introduced, and Apple gave us apps? Before everyone and their mom had an actual app, there were also web pages that worked as apps.

I actually like to have an app over just a website. Even if the app is just a website.
I would open an app once on my phone. Even when I put the link of the website on my home screen, every click would open a new tab in my browser instead of just redirecting me to the web page I already had open 2 hours ago.
And with an app, I can be more selective with permissions and what that app should be allowed to do or not, like sending notifications.
But I feel like that nowadays most things are developed mainly for mobile devices which pisses me off too because visiting your website now has all of that empty space on most of my monitor while the actual used spaced is so cramped that it looks weird.
And this is why I use Hermit so I can turn web pages into apps.
Works great for my banks website, so I don't need their app. And for a bunch of other things.
May not have worked in this case (he didn't say whether there was a web page available, he just created his own).
