    I’m still hoping for browsers to become some kind of open standard application environments and web apps to become actual apps running on this environment.

      How are browser not that already? What’s missing?

      They are an open standard and used to make many thousands of apps.

        I’m thinking more along the line of ubiquitous offline first PWAs. Imagine google doc running offline in a browser and being able to edit local docs directly. I guess secure file system access is one of the major road blocks, though I’m not sure of the challenges associated with coming up with a standard for this.
