solUI interfaces are deterministically generated from a declarative
specification. Furthermore, the underlying parsing and rendering engine is
platform agnostic.
Here are the key benefits that are realized as a result of this:
- Dapp look and feel is consistent across platforms and contracts
- All Dapps can have a consistent look-and-feel.
- No front-end programming skills required since spec is more akin to a template.
- The spec can be checked into version control and thus evolve alongside the contract code.
- Specification sits at a higher level than an ABI, abstracting away ugly details
- User-friendly labels, text and images makes things intuitive for the user.
- A single execution can involve calls to multiple methods across multiple contracts.
- Output from earlier method calls can be automatically be re-used as inputs to later calls.
- Platform-agnostic rendering, validation and testing
- Platform-agnostic (can render to web, mobile, desktop, ...).
- Headless execution is also supported, making Dapp testing a breeze.
- Validate user input (e.g. contract addresses) with on-chain data checking.
- Online repository for easy publishing and hosting
- Publishing system to enable developers to share their Dapps with a wider audience.
- Users can search for and immediately use Dapps within their Dapp browsers.
- Client API to allow other tools in the wider ecosystem to fetch Dapp specs and render them locally.
