I don't believe they have tried that.  In my current role, I'm not programming the applications (another team).  Most of the new web content is being added by a web development team that has no experiencing on the i.  While the base app is still maintained by the i developers.

That sounds similar to ProfoundUI's Genie (I don't work there, was at a place that uses it, if people want a web interface) - that's a screenscraper with the ability to add the kinds of things you listed. Genie does not use OpenAccess for RPG, while they do have another flavor that converts RLA statements into HTML, their RPG Open Access Handler.

Gavin, are you able to break up "congested" screens into tabs, things like that? I believe Genie can do that, also. At my previous position there were screens with hardly any open space - hey, when were RPG developers ever trained in good display design, right?

Yes, in it's basic form.. However, you have to ability to Add content at will.  We've taken our basic green screens and now have add integrated Video, side bars, etc.   While the basic screen is the original application and still will be. All the added content is pure web.  Our video content is driven from pendo.io which was integrated into the presto code.   It was very easy to do.

It's a screen-scraper, so yes.  I demo'd it a few years back. I'd describe
it as 5250 in a browser, with some window dressing added.
