I'm intrigued what the planned architecture is for the web front end. I'm guessing WebSocket back to a persistent process on the backend/server?
So all operations happening via the websocket connection. Only the GUI in the browser? I bit like Phoenix LiveView.
This would be a really interesting toolkit for building real-time UIs for remote processes.
