I really hope for a standardized universal UI to emerge, maybe something like the futuristic screens in Deus Ex games. There just needs to be something like a hypermedia-api on a server, some semantic content markup, and all consumers (browsers, terminals, ...) handle everything else.
As a developer I just want to provide an data/api endpoint and say somehow "this is an universal UI app".
No, Basic HTML isnt enough, and wiring together data into presentable forms over and over again isnt particular fun or exciting after a while. Except you learn a new frontend framework for every project... :)
- moondev 10y agoas soon as the Deus Ex screen spec is finished someone will write a react renderer for it
- mrfusion 10y agoThat's a great idea. I wish it would happen. But I worry it's a lot like asking for standardized clothes or cars. Great ideas in theory but everyone wants some level of differentiation. I'm not sure why.
- spcelzrd 10y agoI think the front end guys are thinking, I really hope for a standardized universal back end to emerge, maybe something like HAL or a Siri that works. I'm joking, of course. But I think front end and full stack developers are safe for a very long time.
