Nomad Web is currently a faithful reproduction of the basic Notes client in a web environment. This works well for porting existing applications, but it's quite limiting when it comes to developing modern, user-focused web applications in 2025.
The current structure confines developers to the boundaries of what a Notes client application could do, which falls short of today’s standards for web usability and aesthetics. To truly empower developers and deliver visually appealing, modern experiences, Nomad Web should be extended to support contemporary front-end technologies—such as modern JavaScript frameworks, advanced CSS, and responsive UI components.
One possible idea would be to develop an additional module for Nomad Web that allows integration with modern frameworks and tools. This would give developers the flexibility to create sleek, dynamic, and user-friendly applications, while still leveraging the power of Domino on the backend.
Similarly, Nomad Mobile faces limitations due to the lack of mobile-optimized components. A look at platforms like expo.dev could offer inspiration for enabling a richer, more native-like mobile experience.
Expanding in this direction could make the Nomad suite not just a compatibility tool, but a truly modern development platform.
