Just in case, I've published yesterday demo build of Sciter.JS that also has binaries for Raspberry Pi (ARM32). See: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (screenshots are there too) Some stats: Binary size : 3

That's never ending story. As soon as you will have better GPU you will have better native native games that use HW at maximum extent. They will work at the magnitude of times better than what WebGL emulation layer will offer you. So h

Why plural? Probably "the web browser" is more correct term these days, no? The idea of "browser as OS" or "OS as browser" is not that new. That move started by "active desktop" concept on Windows 95

"It shouldn't have to be explained at all" Why not? People shall chew that gum without any criticism? Otherwise you will have another round of believing in Lebensraum because that corporal did say so ...

So all that tremendous force of "a more respectable 72 artillery pieces" are supposed to help them to do what exactly with Russia? Laugh to death? And by the way, how exactly that artillery is supposed to be used against Russia?

If to follow the logic then Finland or Norway are closer to Russia (have common borders) so they shall increase its spending 10 times more. Or what? Why not just to say "we have outdated forces, let's make them better". Why t

What if you have no browser for the platform at all? What should you do if you need your app to run on W2000 for example (IE 6.0 anyone?) ? Sometimes people do need that: https://sciter.com/necromancing-sciter-on-windows-200

"1. you work on the next feature in private" That's precisely what I did with Sciter development all these years. "3. release a video of you demo'ing the feature" That's what the Kickstarter campaign is al

Thanks, that's probably the most realistic financing schema in Sciter.JS regards. But as you said it is not Open Source, why btw? BTW: Sciter already works inside Unreal Engine pipeline as plugin: https://sciter.com/see

For many reasons. Compact and manageable UI layer is the first. Full Sciter build for one platform/target is 50 seconds or less. Electron/Chromium builds are about tens of hours as I've been told. Yet this https:/&#x2F

It uses DOM, yes. And you should be able to run D3.js in it. Some browser compatibility layer will be required though. The plan for Sciter.JS is to provide minimal DOM implementation to keep it lightweight. For example there is no document.

"Market(consumers) for GUI design software will increase or decrease in future?" In regard of this, there are three types of consumer roles: 1. "readers" - all of us reading the internet, e.g. me and you reading HN now.

"VC funding and possibly change the business model" I was thinking about something like that. But again, realistically speaking, what would be interesting for VCs in such project to even bother about it?

#2. Browsers are for browsing - desktop and mobile application UI requires far more than that. Browsers are catching up of course but... Who would thought that the thing for reading pages will need access to your file system or make screens

Yes, it is BSD, but who pays for Chromium development? By financing that BSD project that organization is buying the right to define Web standards by its own. BSD is just a business model for them : you wine her, you dine her, you buy her.
