What is an "app" and what are its key differences from a "webpage"?
image source
- Apps usually doesn't have html links.
- Apps use the internet without using the web.
- Apps are invisible to browsers like google unless given a webpage.
What this indicates is that much of the content that exists online is accessed through means other than the Web, and therefore does not exist — at least, not in the same form — in the index of Google. The New York Times might publish the same articles on its website as it does in its mobile app, but they technically exist in different places, in different forms. Something published only on the app is invisible to Google, and to browsers, until it is given a webpage. If you have downloaded a recipe app and search for a particular dish, you are searching within the app, not across the Web. Any given mobile app could use any of a number of coding languages other than HTML, because it doesn’t have to communicate with all the other websites in the world.
