I have an app that alters the colours of my TV at night. I can’t imagine that’ll be possible in a web based OS.
It should be able to with no problem. It isn’t that it is web-based but that essentially, a developer can use JavaScript in the React Native framework that exposes the OS. In other words, developers can use JavaScript to do things native apps can do. This isn’t new at all and has been refined for years.
These JS frameworks do have a bad reputation for things like Electron (performance concerns) and node.js (security concerns).
I personally avoid software based on these technologies but then again, I also avoid Amazon devices too but some people love them.
I have very low hopes that Amazon will add features to the SDK that expose the necessary parts of the OS. It’s that interface that matters and I’m almost certain it will be very locked down and minimal. Android has had plenty time to mature; the SDK is massively featureful
