Abstract

Web applications are easier to build, maintain, and distribute than native applications. With new developments in JavaScript engines and the introduction of WebAssembly, web applications can execute CPU-intensive tasks at 0.9 the speed of C/C++. Dozens of natively implemented APIs such as WebGL and Audio API are now exposed to JavaScript through the browser. With the help of these APIs, we see more and more web-based applications and games. This paper presents a novel design to get the most out web technologies. It aims to bring freedom of the web to desktop applications. Developers will never need to use proprietary programming languages or frameworks to implement their ideas. Even with existing cross platform frameworks there is still a learning curve that developers need to go through. However, in this proposed design the development is done entirely using standardized web technologies.
