Ask HN: Is there a interest/market for desktop style apps anymore?
As part of my slow migration away from Google Products (because of privacy, evil corp, etc), I've built a web app that run on my desktop that provides the functionality that I had with Google products I previously used. This web app integrates into any browser as use because it's a web server running in the background. With this setup, I get the benefit of being subscription free, ad-free and privacy protected and the only drawback I've encountered I can't access it on another desktop. My question is there any interest/market for these types of apps? The trend seems to be always online hosted solutions.
The replacement the following in my app: Google Bookmarks, Google Notes, Google Contacts. I've also added a Budget (finance) app into the web app.
