>> We desperately need a way of conveniently distributing sandboxed, secure, auto-updating apps to desktops and laptops.
What's the proposal?
* App stores controlled by juggernaut companies, doing the app-screening?
* Signing web apps bu an authority?
* Writing in "safe" languages in java/rust/..?
* Java applets?
* Adobe Flash? Silverlight?
* Uglified, minimized encrypted JS code?
* or Win95 style self-extracting installers for downloaded apps, installed by users with no package management?
* Debian style package managers?
