> Which GUI toolkits over internet do you refer to?

My point is there is no GUI toolkit for the browser and there should be. They should stop trying to morph the document object model into a platform for delivering applications, let it do documents, and give us something else/new. It'd also be the proper path to the new thing having accessibility support. Instead people raw-dog the GPU for UI and you get no screenreader support.

What they're doing here is a half-assed attempt: letting people draw but using the DOM for accessibility. The worst of both worlds I guess?

Our only hope is for AI to supplant screen readers, and then we can just ship WebGPU apps.
