Why is a browser required for "living room devices?"
- mathgeek 2y agoFrom the article: > … but also in browsers because some living room devices today have just an HTML5 browser and don't even have flash space big enough to put our native C++ engine.
- jeroenhd 2y agoAsk the people buying and making those devices, not the people trying to get their services to work on them. The answer is probably "because the alternative is worse". I too would rather make a single web app than separate Tizen/tvOS/WebOS/Android/whatever Roku runs apps.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoI suppose, but Flutter on a Rasberry Pi-like device is compelling as well.
