Can I Build Websites with Morph?

Part of: Questions & Answers · The Story of Morph

Morph builds native desktop binaries. It is not a web framework.

The web already has the best web tooling in existence — React, Next.js, Tailwind, browser DevTools, instant deployment. Morph isn't trying to compete with that, and it would be a bad idea to try.

Morph is for the places where a browser doesn't belong:

• Desktop apps — real windows, real menus, real filesystem access, system tray
• Utilities & tools — apps that live on the desktop and do one thing well
• Offline / private — data stays on the machine, no browser sandbox deciding what you can touch
• Kiosks & embedded — a lean native binary where shipping a browser is absurd
• Performance-critical UIs — when the app is the product and it has to feel instant

If your product is a website, use web tools. If your product is a program that runs on someone's computer, that's Morph's territory.
