While some folks are trying to move towards "Lets put everything into WASM and WebGPU" I wish more folks would move towards "Lets put everything into standard data formats and let users bring their UI to the data more easily".
@mauve I’m strong on “why not both??!”
@boris I was thinking of doing something closer to #Pidgin / #libpurple where there are existing data sources and you make them available behind a standard API and interface. I'm thinking socials, chat, events, wikis.
@mauve we’ve been trying to get to this for years but mostly there isn’t interest from it on the dev or user side.
Re-using commercial cloud data might be a path (eg attach your Dropbox or Nextcloud as a synch store where stuff gets persisted)
