Web technologies are fine, but what we really need is some kind of lightweight browser which allows you to use HTML/CSS/JS, but with far lower memory usage. I found https://ultralig.ht/ which seems to be exactly what I am looking for, but the license is a major turn off for most paid services. It makes sense for smaller, indie projects to adopt it, but I haven't seen many "desktop apps" using this in the wild.
