If you want to distribute apps to many users this would probably be a better solution. The main benefit of Capsule is the personal document like app. You create a capsule, move it to an USB stick, save it in your cloud storage and it's still the same document. Nothing has changed, not the UI, not the data. The document will stay the same.

If it’s web native, anyone can just use it. If it’s a capsule, they first need to download the capsule app to associate the file extension with the OS and have it launch, right?

That feels like a big barrier, almost like a Java runtime.

how is a filesystem supposed to prevent you from doing that?
