Hi all,
A lot of exiting things going on here. Separating the GUI from the functionality of Inkscape and allowing to use it as a command line tool sounds really cool.
Now the question that arises to me is whether that means Inkscape could be used as a service and output could get rendered to a client browser? That would allow for a wide variety of GUI's to be developed that could cater to specific uses. I could envision a touch version and probably a VR interface would be more of an option as well. Obviously the fast rendering with Cairo would be lost that way, but for limited use cases (for instance without filters) that should be fast enough I think.
Cheers,
Jelle
