Description

I want to capture the ideas that have been discussed for ways Servo could end up being used in end products (that we would not necessarily be building):

  • Specific HoloLens apps which are basically shells around Servo (rather than a general HoloLens browser)
  • Embedded WebXR engine - apps that only care about webxr/webgl, not 2d stuff at all
  • Rich text layout components (unity? general rust ecosystem?)
  • engine for PWAs - alternative to Electron
  • opinionated web engine alternative, which supports a very clear subset of layout technologies
  • embedded engine for set-top boxes, airplane screens, etc.

Please add anything that I've forgotten!
