LiveView, serving web views to browser and (hybrid/PWA) mobile app?

Its a huge undertaking but damn cool.

It would be great to understand what’s needed before it can be a full liveview replacement as it opens up a range of possibilities that are not possible with the liveview design.

I was also thinking it would be great to separate the transpiling and JavaScript runtime into a separate package. Although it probably wouldn’t be useful unless the goal was full Erlang VM compatibility on the client.

What are the current language and runtime restrictions of your implementation? Eg can you spawn processes, genservers, supervisors on the client?

Regardless, I think if you manage to get some traction and people succeeding with real world production apps using Hologram then it could be one of the next big things for developing Elixir web applications.
