webxdc empowers FOSS developments in unprecedented ways:
- just use all the existing JS/html5 libraries and designs of your choice
- well-known paradim: use all the existing JS/html5 libraries and designs of your choice
- quick onboarding: only a handful API methods to learn
- serverless (but really): no worrying about hosting a server or configuring DNS, AWS etc
- permissionless: no worrying about registering at app stores for distribution
