It’s not a “web app”. It’s a native Windows app. A photo library app that indexes every single photo so you can search them with natural language like “green shirt”, group people by facial recognition, and edit photos, using under 1GB of RAM is impressive.
If the “native” Windows app it’s running on a dedicated browser and coded with web tech, it’s still a web app even if it’s an .exe
Did you know that Picasa could still group people by facial recognition in windows XP with 1 gb of ram in TOTAL? (Clarifying: 1gb to the whole system, not only a single app)
And are you sure that the indexing is running locally? Because it’s called “onedrive photos”, not “windows photos”, so they can totally do the indexing on the cloud.
if you install binisoft windows firewall control, it wants to get permission to “Microsoft Edge WebView2” when you open it
all the other microshit apps like clipchamp, new outlook, teams, the start menu, the widgets, are all webapps. It’s like they fired anyone that knew how to write code and replaced them with copilot
Is it actually doing it in-device? Given that it’s attached to OneDrive, I was rather under the impression that it was just offloading the processing to their servers.

It’s a native Windows app. What makes you think it’s “coded with web tech”? Do you know it’s just a web wrapper?
some of the reasons why it’s not a native app:
Shill harder, we need to deliver more shareholder value
Shill? Explaining why something isn’t a “web app” is shilling now? Geez you commies are getting really loose with your definitions now.

Doesn’t really matter where it’s doing what. It’s displaying it all on device. It’s caching stuff on device.
It does matter if you don’t want your shit in the cloud.
Why are you using onedrive if you don’t want your stuff in the cloud?
