This is the script.google.com and webshell.io project, making a cloud framework for APIs, so for the web-as-a-platform enabling developers to use webservices with a unique Javascript interface.

It follows the defacto standards of the web and not trying to invent a new standard.

- HTTP

- REST/JSON

- Node.js ( Google prefers using Rhino because Appengine does't support Node.js but Java)

- Github (Google prefers using Google Drive)

- Javascript as the glue of APIs by transforming API endpints into Javascript Objects, client-side or server-side.

- HTML views to generate with API calls

Webshell.io has an open API that Google Apps Script doesn't yet.

The webshell's blog is "building an internet operating system" for the web-as-aplatform, where APIs are the "drivers" of the web.

So definitively the web as a platform is coming.

The true question behind this post is : the web is a decentralized network, so will developers will use a centralized platform for making applications on the web? Is open source platforms the solution?
