There was so much work done in the 80s and 90s on RAD — rapid application development — that was all thrown in the trash when the web hit.

20+ years later we’ve managed to finally build up the right combination of hacks to make the web a passable application platform but it still feels like you’re forcing it. Because you are. The web was not designed to be an app platform and it shows. Still.

I have made some money by building Django apps in the past.

I became familiar with his work through "Dreaming in Code." If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. The writing style is lively and engaging—definitely not your typical tech book.

Maybe they're only refering to the frontend/UX. It's true that in 10 years it has not changed much compared to the diff with browserOS.

First of all, they didn't say they are referring to the UI.

The main element in a web browser's UI is the web view where web pages get rendered. It may look the same 'rectangle' as it used to look 10 years ago. But the way chrome renders web pages and execute JavaScript have undergone a lot of changes over the years. Also they have added a lot of new standard and nonstandard HTML, CSS and JavaScript features. Then, there is WebGL 2.0, WebAssembly, WebGPU, etc.

What a joke project! Chromium has a over 35 million lines of code. These people applied a few patches on it, and then advertising it as if they have developed a new browser. The same goes for Comet also.

From their GitHub readme:

> but Chrome hasn't evolved much in 10 years

Really?? It is not true. You guys please go and check release notes and commits log for Chrome/Chromium project for the past 10 years.

In my opinion, a web based UI for something like an image editor is a bad idea. It will be slow and resource intensive.

The author doesn't give any arguments to support his claim.
