Retool mobile app vs web app

Hey @Shawn_Optipath,

Thanks for kicking off this discussion - I'm interested to hear from our community :slightly_smiling_face:

There's certainly pros & cons to each option! I agree that it depends on your use case & the features you'll need. As Travis alludes to, web apps have a larger component library and more UI options in general. However, one thing to consider is that "offline mode" is a Retool Mobile specific feature - Offline mode | Retool Docs (not available on web apps for mobile browsers)

For the developer experience, I also wanted to share some limitations we've seen with mobile web app editing as described here: Set all Containers and Components in a Stack to "show on mobile" - #5 by Tess

Keep us posted on what you go with :+1:
