I find it fascinating that we keep trying to build things that already exist, but on top of another app (web browser). I mean, it's cool to see, and it will have its use-cases, but I wonder where we'd be if we didn't have to do this.

The browser-as-runtime has one property nothing else has: zero install on every OS. For sensitive files for medical, legal, personal. It's also the only architecture where you can verifiably prove data never left the device.

My personal pain point. I teach entertainment engineering at univ. We need this. All the time. Getting IT to install this in a classroom is a pain. It has already reduced my pain regarding this (anecdotal, yes. But I see the results and am planning to do a usability study). Thought it might be useful to someone else.
