I'd backdoor it into a app framework. Don't have to call it native, just a framework for making apps that happens to have a way to serve them to a user over TCP.

Yep. This was one of the possible directions but it also has an initial startup problem. Right now only large app makers are making these types of frameworks because they don't make any money. (Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Apple)

That's why you have to come up with a sick app as an excuse to develop/dogfood the framework first!
