At a minimum it should use typescript, no? Also web pages get out of sync sometimes, and need to be reloaded, which doesn’t sound great for mission critical reliability. Compiled, typed UI lib sounds like a better fit.





Unless something actually crashes, which any code could do, then why would you need to reload? Just send a websocket message that requests the current full state.

But if it's implemented correctly, it probably won't get out of sync.


Remote code doesn’t load correctly sometimes, just a fact of life in a distributed system. Maybe loading it locally reduces that to almost zero, but I’d still be more comfortable risking my life with a desktop app.

How is a browser rendering local files on a machine without an internet connection not "a desktop app" though?
