This would be terrible for the web from crawl-ability, accessibility, extension and OS integration points of view.
The web is awesome because it's document based, and largely because of links embedded in a open document format. Get rid of the document and you get rid of readable links, web crawlers, find-in-page, screen readers, and on and on...
- corysama 11y agoThis assumes what you want is documents. The web is already great for documents. Meanwhile, a lot of people also want apps. You can bemoan document viewers being stretched beyond reason into app platforms, but it already happened over a decade ago and shows no sign of slowing. It's time to just deal with it. With wasm and webgl, these document viewers can at least be slightly less crappy app platforms.
