In 2007 I said that the future of all apps is html/js/css. I knew the front-end space was going to get complicated (it did) and that to really change the game (ie, force a standard in UX) it would have to be web based. I wrapped chromium in a Java applet for travel kiosks (now mobile is king), I wrapped chromium in C#, in Python, in Go, all to make web tech the standard.

I loved electron before it got bloated, I found NW.js before that and wished it was more popular and had more love. I contributed a swig wrapper to webview to support any language you wish (swig interface naming amalgamations aside).

Keep going!!! I want a world where I can write an app for any platform and it spits out some standardized UI that could be augmented with some CSS. I’m super interested in this.
