Contrary to the name, I don't think that it's very good. The whole thing is a canvas via WASM, so scrolling isn't smooth, selection doesn't work, and accessibility is seemingly non-existent.

But I think the technology itself is interesting. While most modern UI toolkits use HTML or React-like components, this uses a set of JSONs, which describe the page.

Is json a good file format for UI?
Is it similar to flutter?
