Re: Moving from Green screen app to GUI because of push back

What, specifically, would this GUI do? What would it look like? Would it have its own .css file files but different tags?  Would you see it as something that competes with javascript? php. Python?

Would it be a remake of VARPG + OS/2?  Would it work on iPhones? Androids? Tablets?

I understand the general concept; I do not understand the specifics.

Just because an API came out allowing some to tap into it?
