What if the browser built the UI for you? (jonno.nz)

The piece argues that instead of each SaaS building its own React UI, the browser should generate interfaces from a service “manifest” plus the user’s accessibility and layout preferences. It proposes shifting complexity from frontend code to semantically described APIs and data contracts, so the same preferences apply across services. The author presents a proof of concept that generates UIs from a GitHub manifest using user settings defined in YAML.
