This is exactly the story my friend told me a few months ago. I don't know why, but it's scary to me to even think about this. In my head it's a JS dystopia.

But why? 😉

Probably because it would need a lot more RAM while being slower than a normal DE.

Only one way to find out 😁, I agree with that but I would love to put a prototype together anyway and see what happens.

If you are still working on a prototype and need some design assistance, I’m happy to help. I want to see this type of DE exist in the world.

Oh wow thanks Michael, I am planning to revisit this idea soon just been busy working on my 3D art, I would gladly accept the help yes.

I don't really know what the UI should look like but it could focus around the portable nature of this sort of UI. I'd expect to produce a standard library of UI components that developers could skin etc.
