That’s also true of stuff such as news sites.
That’s precisely the goal for Project Tapestry.

The objective is not to replace existing apps but to complement them.
you might configure Tapestry with data source plug-ins: small JavaScript codes translating between the app and web services.
While default plug-ins will be provided, you could create custom ones as well.
As of the time of writing, it has reached over $70,000 of its initial $100,000 goal.
