My kingdom to have RAD developer tools be the norm again. I don't want yet another website as an app, or website bundled in a Chrome fork as an app. You could have built the same thing in VB6 or Delphi with less effort and used less of my resources in the 2000s...

I’m not sure if it’s a particular framework or whatever, I’m just a computer user.

The sites where I’ve seen it have predominantly been for business whose primary activities are not-online.

It’s refreshing.
