This is my latest startup. The current version (0.1) is a very early version, it is not intended for production usage yet. I am interested in opinions on the approach, and also would be happy to find investors.
- teyc 15y agoInteresting. In the long run, I believe this is the wrong approach. Scenegraph-based UI can be easier to HW accelerate.
- tomaskafka 15y agoSorry man, this just goes against the grain of the web - the future is imo in using browser as a smart, hw accelerated runtime that is native on every platform, not in creating a dumb/slow proprietary emulation layer inside. Flash has already lost, and whatever good it had (fast accelerated video) has already been made native.
- nadam 15y agoThe problem with this is that the web is driven by commitees, so innovation is terribly slow. For example there is no real dynamic layout in web standards, which is crazy. (Look at my v0.1 GridPanel class and compare it to CSS layout...) I want to create a system in which people can create their own components, own layout managers, etc... This thing should not replace the web, but has a place in UI tech research and application development.
- bradleyland 15y agoKind of like Java Applets or Flash? These are also dead or dying platforms. I don't see a compelling reason for another one to rise, even if it runs atop canvas.
- tomaskafka 15y agoSo, use the web's strengths and create a dynamic layout manager in javascript, that can be defined through some superset of html and css?
