Can you also write apps with HTML and CSS?

Hi

I read somewhere that this is possible, but ChatGPT says no. Only web apps.

But I mean real apps that you can then install in the playstore / appstore.

First of all, you need JavaScript if you want to incorporate any functionality.

Then there are 3 possibilities:

Electron is a library that allows you to write Cross Platform apps. Discord, for example, is one. Chromium is started in the background and the app is displayed there. Read more here: https://www.electronjs.org/

PWA (Progressive Web Apps) are a way to “install pages in web browsers”. For this purpose, a field for installing is displayed at the top right of the address bar. Your site will also work offline through Serviceworker. Of course, the advantage is that no extra Chromium Library is downloaded. However, because this is running in the browser, you do not have native integration into the system. Here is a guide https://web.dev/learn/pwa.

The third option is similar to Electron, only that one uses the webviews of the system instead. This does not charge extra Chromium Runtime, but does not have the latest features that Chromium supports. One of the libraries would be here https://tauri.app.

All these options allow you to publish your app in the App Stores.

Hope the long answer helped you get on. Good luck!

Jein.

So, yes, you can convert wizards into apps, there is software. However, HTML and CSS are not programming languages, so the app will probably not have much functionality.

In that point ChatGPT is right.

HTML and CSS are not suitable for writing apps.

HTML is an award language and CSS is a formatting description language.

Nothing can be programmed with HTML and CSS. You need JavaScript, or the application runs server-side.

There are other programming languages for apps.

Which depends on whether you want to program for iOS or Android.
