I can't care less about "apps". Web is already powerful enough to do all sort of stuff on device.

That said, I think wasi containers support for a mobile OS would be a game changer.

(^ Here's a startup idea if you're looking out for one. I for one throw out all my devices from the balcony to get this)

yea i straight up am not downloading apps anymore if i can help it. virtually zero companies put apps out to provide a better experience, they just do it to get telemetry data. which is why all these banking apps are just their website in some wrapper lol

You can run wasm components in tauri apps, and tauri supports building for android.

I haven't figured out how to make them talk with each other though. I imagine that's the place where I'd notice this lack of support.

There are things that you just can't do with wasm. wasi was designed to fill the gap. If you can remember, wasi was all the craze right before AI came out and suddenly it just faded in the background.
