HTML5 AppCache: The Manifest
Ralf Schwoebel discusses the importance of independence in app development, emphasizing that not all apps need to be native and that major companies control the landscape. He explains how to use the app cache to maintain web apps offline and mentions the potential of combining web technologies with features like local storage to create functional applications without relying on app stores. The document also highlights the advantages of developing and monetizing such apps directly, including greater control over customer data and avoidance of platform restrictions.
