I built an app that allows access to local devices and data while still being a browser, if anyone needs help in that area.

It used to be that you could get a much richer user experience in a desktop app compared to a web app for many head-down data entry kinds of apps. Is that still true to the most extent?
Purely in terms of UI it's less and less true all the time - however the work involved to approach that richness of UI and deploy it safely and securely on the web is still orders of magnitude beyond doing the same on desktop. Plus you have tradeoffs around access to local filesystems, printers and so on.
But look at something like https://www.photopea.com/ for example. That to me is a good example.
