Early projects like PhoneGap and Electron were attempts at helping developers to build native applications using the web stack. Though there was a demand, and still is for something like this, the contention with them was their complexity, binary size and memory footprint. Also, neither project provided a unified developer experience across desktop and mobile. This talk will announce the release of the Operator Framework, a framework focused on local/offline-first web development. A framework that produces artifacts a fraction of the size of projects like Electron or PhoneGap, and uses a fraction of the memory. A modern framework that offers a simple unified developer experience across desktop and mobile, exposing a network stack suitable for building peer-to-peer applications using familiar web based technology and establishing incremental, optional connectedness. This talk may be anywhere from 20-30 minutes and includes a live-coding demo.
