Description
This is more of a long term direction option for pytest-html: instead of rendering a HTML file with the plugin maybe it would be better to make it load and display junit reports using JavaScript.
Even mobile browsers are very powerful now and such a design would allow hosting the rendering code in a single place and just to generate a very small html which loads the JavaScript renderer and the report file(s).
Does this makes sense? Do you see any problems with a design like this?
One of the advantages is that it would greatly reduce the footprint of the reports and will also allow users to upgrade renderer at any time, even after reports were generated.
