Purpose
Proxied Apps are externally or locally hosted apps proxied into the OS experience.
iframe is an implementation detail, not the product concept. Future app runtime modes may include route apps, isolated apps, module apps, remote apps, and other sandboxed execution strategies.
Naming Rule
| Use | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Proxied Apps | Framed Apps |
| Proxied App runtime | iframe product concept |
| Proxied App sandbox policy | app frame as platform naming |
Current Meaning
Today, many Proxied Apps are implemented through iframe routes or local dev templates. The platform term should stay implementation-neutral so the concept can grow beyond iframe.
Future Runtime Directions
- External hosted apps.
- Locally hosted dev apps.
- Route-based apps.
- Isolated apps.
- Remote module apps.
- Official apps.
- Community apps.
