The killer feature could be a file type named after the kinds of websites people make. Say .blog or .forum or .store or .social perhaps even .aggregator or .hn (lol) each would work like a straight jacket or like a website on a platform (.blog like blogger, .store like shopify etc) it could be distributed and insanely fast. Every other link just opens in the normal browser.

It's interesting to think about this sort of thing: interactive forms generated from OpenAPI specs? Some way to plug-in handlers for specific mime-types? etc.

This is the dream, honestly. Dynamic form creation from specs. PowerShell has something like it (for a function it will create you a ugly form that you can render), but if you could deliver a OpenAPI spec and have Bootstrap (or whatever) UI on the frontend automatically generated.

The Swagger UI[0] is more a documentation/exploration tool for APIs, but it shows enough of what you can do that I don't think it'd be all that difficult to generate something that you'd want to put on your own website.

This is not quite what you mean, but I've used it before to decent success:
