I think leveling things out at the beginning is important. For instance, I recently talked to a senior engineer who said "using AI to write programming is so useless", but then said they'd never heard of Cursor. Which is fine - but I so often see strong vocal stances against using AI tools but then referring to early Copilot days or just ChatGPT as their experience, and the game has changed so much since then.
I'm on Bitbucket so will have to wait :)
For instance, pure peanut butter is unprocessed. While it runs through a mechanism to change it from peanuts to peanut butter, there is no oil added, nor are any of the healthful nutrients of peanut butter extracted. Opposite to this is peanut butter like JIF which is processed - the mix is diluted with sugar and vegetable oil to make the same amount of food for cheaper.
Same with tofu - it starts as soybeans and is ran through a mechanism to turn it into the blocks of tofu we see in stores, but we do not add sugar or oils to change the contents of that block, nor do we remove nutrients from the soybean (this may not be 100% accurate, but generally speaking, nutrients are not removed in this). However, many vegan meat products put a lot of unhealthy additions into the mix, thus making it processed.
This won't suit your needs for processing-heavy apps (though can WebWorkers help), but will work well for many apps (https://csform.com/top-10-apps-built-with-ionic-framework/ for a "top 10" list for examples).
I noticed after submitting that you mentioned machine-learning. Any reason you can't offload that to a web API and take the load off the client?
Most of those subject matters - to me - are fun to chat with LLMs with to learn (Gemini hooked to web research works nicely).
But the expectations of easy-to-use software is rising. A solution to this problem would be extremely valuable.
Sorry, this comment feels a bit like https://www.youtube.com/shorts/61ZqBW30LLA but just rambling
