So from user perspective, they still have to run it like they would run local web server but more secure? It's improvement security wise, though it's still hustle for app distribution right?
- hardwaresofton 4y agoYup, that's why I put in that last part: > Add an app store and the web will have finished becoming the platform that everyone has been suspecting it is. Basically what we need now is a user-side "app store" that downloads apps packaged as WASM and runs them! Honestly this setup could probably work today, use something like Tauri[0] to build a simple app-store like experience. When someone installs an app, this thing downloads the WASM, and runs it with the necessary linked modules (local file access, network). Then, you can spin up a new window that is the new application, and keep it running/do whatever else users would expect. I mean you could even launch the apps standalone/separate processes as well so that people can close the original one (or put it to tray, whatever). This could easily be like snap/flatpak but even better in some ways. Browser technology is almost assured to always be moving forward and getting more powerful/impressive because of the large interests involved.

- hardwaresofton 4y agoI'm thinking something a little more consumer focused than wapm. Maybe the tool I'm describing could use wapm. Consumers don't use CLIs to install things.
