It's possible to eschew the DOM even today with just JavaScript & <canvas> [0]! While this would be possible with wasm & WebGL as well, we're working to build something that integrates well into the open web platform. Check out #3 from our high-level goals [1].

Doesn't flipboard still use the DOM to do the initial rasterization? I thought it just used canvas as a caching layer.
