Well a sever theoretically could send different WASM depending on the request path and request more content as "links" are pressed, not sure what you can call a website but the benefits of a website can be reaped without actually making a document now. I can imagine soon, if it doesn't already exist, server side rendering of HTML can instead output WASM + WebGL and speed up clients further. The point being that these "native" apps don't necessarily need installing and can still have the benefits of web apps and native apps combined :)

How would you define the layouting and styling of these WebGL apps in a way that does not result in every one of the apps becoming artisanal one-offs?
