Surprise, this support will land in Epiphany for F24 after all. So a
devassistant web app will definitely be possible.
Possible: maybe. Useful or necessary? probably not. I really don't think we should have devassistant by default, or at all. Not to mention that this "server + web GUI" thing is kinda scary when it comes to security, especially on multi user systems (yes even if it listens on localhost).
And if it's a "web" app, how can it create the necessary files and folders to "start a new project" (a task that I really don't think we should have a whole app for, but whatever)? How does this work in a multi-user setup? I hope the server doesn't run as root. Will it just give me an archive to download with all the files ready? if so, why have it as a local app and not as a "project template generator" as part of the "fedora developer portal"?
Our goal should be to minimize the default set of apps to a small, polished offering. Installing this tool doesn't help us be a more attractive OS for developers.
Sorry for being all negative here, I know that's usually frowned upon, but I just see no benefit in having this app be a part of our default offering.
