<p>This looks cool!<p>You should add a link to the GitHub repo for the project itself, at first I wasn't even sure what it was called.<p>I found this link

<p>I'm considering something similar and Lynx did seem interesting. Thanks to your article I think it is indeed a bit too early.<p>Another option looks like Tauri v2[0]. It also promises iOS, Android, and Web support (as well as a desktop application). The core is Rust which may or may not have the same adoption issues you saw for C++.<p>I haven't given it a try yet though but you may find it interesting.<p>[0] <a href="https://v2.tauri.app/" rel="nofollow">https://v2.tauri.app/</a></p>

<p>The tooling keeps getting better so I'm bullish on that side.<p>For canaries there's growing support for branching the database which can help.<p>But in the end, this like all things requires balance. Putting everything in there can lead to pain down the road, for example I wouldn't follow the http part.<p>My use case is with app's local sqlite and I have a lot of code transforming the returned rows into JSON. It works but feels slower and to divorced from the data.</p>

<p>This sounds very interesting, I've been using SQL more lately and am constantly impressed by what it can just do.<p>My thinking is everything I could get done by the DB avoids heavier and maybe slower application code.<p>Do you have some resources or material I could check to learn more?</p>

<p>In a way I hope this gives more opportunities to PWAs or at least websites that consider the use case of getting "installed" (at least added to home screen).<p>It's a far cry from native apps and it comes with its own issues. But in my case, the vast majority of apps I use regularly have a competent mobile web interface.<p>This is of course limited by what the OS will allow as we see with Apple's purposefully poor support for them and Google would likely follow suit. Maybe alternative browsers could offer what's missing.<p>Maybe there'll be more power behind a Linux distro for Android that puts browser apps and self installs first?<p>People have a natural desire for ownership in some form, I'm sure we'll find a way. But things do look bleak right now.</p>
