examples? are you referring to storage VS browser cache?
I understand from an integration perspective, native apps have better (direct) access to hardware and sensors that webapp may not have without authorization.
Storing your nostr key for SN to sign stuff with. Storing E2E messaging keys. Basically any key material or sensitive data that you don't want stored on a server.
for nostr I agree is still early, but nos2x and Alby are doing great on desktop browser. I'll be not surprised if they extend to mobile soon.
maybe browser extension on mobile? Seen Nostore doing some interesting experiment on appl devices
Safari on iOS doesn't support extensions and requiring another app be installed can be frictionful. It is still early.
Nostore as a Safari extension does the job well, but does not work in a PWA.
not yet!
... and isn't encrypted local storage safe enough?
This is also about trust right? What do you trust more, your browser (for pwa’s) or your operating system (for native apps)?
Pretty sure smartphones have had secure elements for some years now (like Samsung Knox), it's just that they use it for proprietary security measures (like storing biometrics) and have not made them available to app developers.

The web is ideal in a number of ways, but until we can store secrets securely in a browser, we'll need native apps.
