Yes great idea! The different applications (or URLs) could be opened simultaneously and displayed as ‘tabs’ for the user to manage in the central application.
I get the joke, but an Electron "player" daemon seems like a decent idea. It could manage getting the right runtime versions, installing apps, deduping assets and granting permissions.
It'd be a sort of cross-platform Google Play Services.
That would also allow to call one application from another, just assigning some reserved namespace or domain and appending the feature at the end, kind of a path. Exciting times!
How would one remember a collection of these namespaces or the current place within one location? Analogous to physical paper, could we repurpose the concept of a "bookmark"?
To avoid having to update these files on your pc, these could be served by a "server" on the internet. We would have to run cables around the earth so everyone can benefit.
