Today I read “Web Apps Are Not A Thing, Please Stop” by Robin Rendle, who makes a point that we should stop treating websites different from web apps. Somehow, the thinking goes, if we make a web app then we don’t need to care about accessibility or responsive design.

Anyway, when building web apps I keep hearing that we don’t need to care about responsive design or accessibility and it troubles me.

I agree that web apps need to play by the same rules as website. However, I draw a different line: between building for the web and building on the web.
