Hey Drew: I have a suggestion for sway/mobile. How about a simple windowmanager that shows a webview on screen and that exports a simple js api for window operations like { min,max,restore,setxy } so that frontend guys could make their own window managers. I think we'd see so much innovation on both desktop & mobile.


I've never seen something more web-dev than asking someone else to do this much work for you so that you don't have to learn a new language. I don't want the "innovation" of having awful web ui on my desktop.


It's an idea to provoke discussion. If you read the blog post he's got a whole list of app-y type stuff planned. This might be a way for him to save time on all that.

Then don't clone/download web ui projects? I don't understand the bile.
