I think it could trivially enable all the micro-applications that people are constantly dreaming up... the kinds of things that are hidden away in all the various shell or python scripts across creation, as well as the little web apps all over github that just can't get any traction.
I think this could be a project to sort of unite all of those things under a common umbrella.
One thing that's fascinated me for a while has been the concept of rolling your own hardware that can plug directly into the web. (I know Chrome has had WebUSB and WebBluetooth enabled for some years now.)
And "plug directly into the web" how exactly? Elaborate. Do you mean using them locally, externally, magically? Something else?
The project seems decently interesting, but like a lot of other people, I'm seeing a lot of text but not really clear answers to very valid questions.
