> HTML as it exists right now

Is there any other kind?

Seriously wondering if there’s something specific you had in mind ...

My take is that it’s a harder solution space than can be solved gracefully with a single technology. It’s always easier to take a more convoluted approach. I think what confuses us is the visual nature of these apps; we think we should be able to describe them visually, and maybe you can, but it’s seldom worth the time and effort.
