Webapps are fundamentally different from native apps but thanks to this technology, they are now on the same level, allowing them to use features that up until now were considered exclusive to native apps. Some major features that are now easily available to web apps are Push Notifications, Access to device sensor such as the microphone, the accelerometer or the light sensor, an Icon in the App Drawer or the possibility to install them, among many others.
They can now have some of the tools of native apps, with the benefits of a website: They can be indexed by search engines!

What are your thoughts on web apps? Are they the future of mobile app development? Do they lack the potential of native apps?
