Any content on desktop can appear in a traditional multi-column format—just like print content in newspapers and magazines. This offers a lot of flexibility for designing layouts and positioning text, images and UI elements.
Mobile apps must conserve screen space everywhere they can, so you must be aware of which elements are important enough to show. Two interesting trends arose from this obstacle: minimalism and the hamburger menu. Both were so successful, they seeped into desktop design as well, where they’re stylistic choices rather than necessities. Desktop apps can support fixed navigation bars, while mobile are generally limited to pull-out menus. This is quite effective for discoverability, since users may find new sections they didn’t previously know about. For example, did you know eBay sells motors and other car parts? If you use their mobile app, you’d have to go out of your way to learn that.
