Browser apps are not only about these usecases, which are mostly a document-use-of-DOM feature. Which is fine for certain cases. However for a synthesiser UI, IDE, designtools or even a SDXL explorer flowgraph i don't really care about that. You want fast UI, with threads available to make workloads not hiccup the system. And thats what we're building with makepad.
I found the stranglehold that HTML put on application developers over the years to be so demotivating i almost quit building applications that ran in a browser entirely. But luckily now we have wasm+rust+webgl/gpu and things can happen again.
