Hello Product Hunt ! 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 It all started when I chose to implement a web-based desktop for an EPFL postgraduate course here in Switzerland, and nothing I’d call commercial-grade came out of it. That’s when I started thinking that the Web platform might be missing a feature or two when it comes to its application support. And here we are a couple of lightbulb moments later. 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 Let me present to you Qworum, a commercial-grade B2B PaaS that aims to fill the gap between what the Web platform offers, and what applications require. Qworum currently brings interactive and composable APIs, distributed applications, and application modularity to the Web, with more to come. 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Qworum is based on an expired software patent which I’ve authored, and it has won a silver medal at an inventors’ expo here in Geneva Switzerland. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 Qworum is a new runtime for web browsers. Whereas the JavaScript runtime attaches itself to web pages, the Qworum runtime ties itself to browser tabs. 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 Qworum is a general purpose technology that is applicable across industries, and as a result Qworum’s target customer base is relatively large: * Companies that build internal applications (many mid- to large-sized companies). * B2B SaaS companies. * Third parties that build and sell Qworum APIs on top of public SaaS APIs. That’s right, Qworum is a potential revenue source for B2B entrepreneurs.

Congrats on the launch! Qworum looks like a really interesting tool for building B2B apps. Love the modular API approach! Quick question tho - is there any specific setup needed to use the runtime across different industries? Thanks!

@charlotteelisesinclair Thanks Charlotte! > 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭 I'd say Qworum is more of a 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 for running applications and APIs than a tool. In terms of tooling, Qworum has a VS Code extension for authoring Qworum scripts in XML format, but using it is optional. > 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘈𝘗𝘐 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩! Thanks. What is a module in the Qworum world? You might be surprised, but 𝗤𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗔𝗣𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀, and a website can host one or more of those. This means that building Web-scale distributed applications is very easy; just mix and match as many Qworum APIs as you wish! > 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘱 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴? No. 𝗤𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗶𝘀. The difference is that Qworum runtime instances are attached to browser tabs rather than the individual web pages.

@star_boat Hi Star. > 𝘌𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘘𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯! I've taken the e-shop application offline since recording the video linked above, but if you want to see a live demo, here's another one which is still online, feel free to click on the link on the upper right: https://github.com/doga/qworum-a... > 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 Thanks, finally someone has noticed :) To me Qworum is the Web for applications, it's a Web variant that I'm calling "The Service Web". So, what is the current Web, then? Glad you asked: to me the current Web is "The Document Web"; it is still fundamentally a content platform and not really an application platform, and that, despite JavaScript.
