It's a nice idea, but the execution is taking the wrong path in my opinion. By rendering everything to a `<canvas>` they're sacrificing any hope of accessibility and compatibility with browser standards for UX.

I would have much preferred a React-Native-style approach, where they render to true HTML instead. Even then, WASM files are too heavy for quick loading times without good internet (and sometimes even with).

The projects I see that would most benefit from something like this are complex internal apps that need to be used in different places but aren't worth porting over/rewriting, but they would also suffer from terrible UX given the constraints of this design.

For all other projects, it makes for more sense to use React Native.
