Yes great idea! The different applications (or URLs) could be opened simultaneously and displayed as ‘tabs’ for the user to manage in the central application.

- dewiz 8y agoThat would also allow to call one application from another, just assigning some reserved namespace or domain and appending the feature at the end, kind of a path. Exciting times!
- arbie 8y agoHow would one remember a collection of these namespaces or the current place within one location? Analogous to physical paper, could we repurpose the concept of a "bookmark"?
- barrystaes 8y agoTo avoid having to update these files on your pc, these could be served by a "server" on the internet. We would have to run cables around the earth so everyone can benefit.
- xaitv 8y agoFirst thing we'd have to serve then is some place where stuff like that can be discussed though, maybe some sort of "forum" with "comments" and stuff?
- smichel17 8y agoUnfortunately, that would also introduce latency. Plus, I'd like to be able to access these files when I'm not connected to one of these "servers".
- murukesh_s 8y agoYou probably don't need electron to do that, it could be done by any end user. Wondering why it isn't being done!
- sterlind 8y agoI get the joke, but an Electron "player" daemon seems like a decent idea. It could manage getting the right runtime versions, installing apps, deduping assets and granting permissions. It'd be a sort of cross-platform Google Play Services.
- de_watcher 8y agoOh, you're too brutal to the webdev community. Don't do that. :D
