I write a lot of engineering and test software that interacts with hardware. Generally it communicates over serial or UDP. I package the software as an executable that gets installed on lab PCs. There is a lot of configuration management. An operator has to use the correct build of software, and needs to configure the software with the appropriate settings. After some testing he needs to save off the data to the appropriate places for analysis and archival. It seems to me that this type of application would be appropriate to implement as a web application. This would help me manage deployments better and would automate the CM/data flows. I have been casually monitoring the Web Serial, Web USB, and Web Socket APIs, since they would enable me to implement the low-level communications I need. The opposition to these standards bums me out, but I keep hoping that the security concerns can be resolved and that attitudes will change.
