Will LOGOs web app ever catch up to the desktop version so they act and look the same?

There are some glaring differences. When using interlinear, the web app doesn't show up at the bottom of the text as in the desktop app but rather within each line. Right clicking and selecting what action to take is different because the pop p box is different. I often find myself having to use the web app and it's really difficult to get used to. Is there some kind of document that outlines the differences and explains what and how one thing replaces the another in the desktop version.

Thank you.

    The good news is that the Logos Web App is the most advanced in the premium Bible software space. The closest competitor has been attempting to launch its own literally for years now.

    The bad news is that unless you start from the premise that you want to create a web app that is close to a desktop app or start with a web-first app and go the other way, it is not straightforward to obtain like-for-like feature parity. The operating environments of desktop apps and web apps differ on some pretty fundamental levels, although some newer apps such as Notion, Slack and Readwise Reader have been able to get close.

    My speculation is to say watch this space… but I don't think it will be quick. The desktop app has a many years head start in development. I tend to see the desktop app as the primary platform, with the mobile and web apps being companions.

    I think the Web App is pretty great. I'm a Linux guy who hasn't really had success with getting Verbum to run on my machine (I'm aware of the guides, and need to go back and look to them again when I get the time to fuss with it). But the more the web app can do, the better it is for me across operating systems.
