There are A LOT of words on that page and you have to read all of it to piece together even an elevator pitch. This makes me feel there’s a lack of focus.

So this thing allows easier integration of UI-driven external services into a web app (auth, payment, ecomm).

Hi, the "lack of focus" feeling is due to the fact that Qworum is still a work in progress, although the specification itself is stable.

In terms of elevator pitch:

Qworum's mission statement could be something like "Premium web browser features for business and consumer applications". So this would involve adding Qworum's modularization technology to browsers, along with some other features. The result would be improved developer productivity and better integration between web applications.

In a more general sense, what I think is lacking on the web right now is a commercial entity that can augment the baseline capabilities that are provided by Chrome, Safari etc. If the browser is the web's operating system, then what we have right now is Linux on the desktop, not Windows and not macOS. So that's the opportunity I am seeing.
