> An open app runtime - Proprietary app stores are winning too – and in the process, they are distorting markets and censoring apps.

> Could a browser be built that provides an actually better app experience and performance than native apps?

And how exactly do you get that browser past apples review process?



This should not prevent you from thinking and building it.

Browser that captured my imagination recently is this guy:

https://beakerbrowser.com

It supports genuine distributed apps.


I really like the idea of an open app runtime. The only problem is that it would require a whole new phone and app eco-system, unless it's built on top of the existing Android platform.


Not technically a new browser but check out Get@ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/get/id960699421?mt=8

It is a curated web experience.
