this is most European website

nice, I love casual exceptionalism in the morning.

At this point, why not just use web

Because not everyone uses a "web stack". Moreover trying to learn a webstack is pretty hard. Sure JS is easy, but everything on top to make it more "productive" changes every 6 months. I mean yeah I could just use react, but Urgh, its nasty.

However the killer issue issue is hardware acceleration. Its possible to get kivy running at 60 FPS on a pi3. getting something to run at 60fps on web for the pi3 is bloody hard. Even though its python, it runs really fast, something not really possible in the browser.
