[meta] Improve web development experience

Description

Potential developers of web applications use a different set of tools from the ones we traditionally provide in AGL for native apps. There are many things that could be done to bridge the gap between AGL and web developers.

We currently provide the remote web inspector but it's still hard to modify and redeploy an app. Some ideas in that front:

  • Add support for some kind of deploy/update/reload cycle

  • Provide standard web-dev tools to package and sign agl widgets

  • Provide templates for webapp recipes for the most common web-dev environments

Hi Guys,

I have done a very small step in this regard by creating a generator for scaffolding basic web app structure and then you can use autobuild to build it the same way you do with native app.

You can find it in here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-agl
