exokit https://example.com # run site in WebGL/VR/AR
Exokit is a full HTML5 web browser, written as a node.js module. It lets you run a web site as a program.
Exokit can do everything a browser can do -- except render HTML.
Exokit can't render HTML, but it can draw Canvas and WebGL -- natively, and fast -- as well as take keyboard/mouse/mixed reality input with the regular APIs. It's a browser for the post-(2D) world.
Think JSDOM, except it actually runs the DOM in a window. Or think Electron, except 300k and no compile step. Or, think an emulator for running web sites.
The multipmedia parts (e.g. WebGL) are pluggable native modules. Everything else is Javascript. It's pretty easy to experiment and add new Web APIs.
Exokit runs on Android/iOS, as well as Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The web is imporant. The most important part of the web is that it's open. The web is not open if you need to be a genius to build a web browser.
Despite modern browsers being nominally open source, their code is impenetrable. You've probably never compiled a web browser, and almost certainly never added things. Despite the amount of time you spend in a browser.
With Exokit, anyone can write some Javascript to control their experience of the web.
Works:
Planned:
The core is Javascript and is platform-agnostic. Porting work is restricted to the native graphics APIs.
