It's great that they are investing in Gnome but I don't think adding progressive Web apps into Gnome is something anyone asks for.

Or Glade replacement efforts, it is hard to consider Gtk 4 a modern toolkit when GtkBuilder requires building its gigantic XML files by hand.

This is a much bigger task then this can fund. There is already Cambalache which is basically GTK4 Glade. There is Blueprint which is an XML replacement. And Red Hat may fund a new UI designer in the coming years.

Hardly a replacement.
