Re: Rendering Verifiable Credentials @ RWoT11

Steve, hi -
*

The OpenAttestation framework implements layout ('templates') in React 
<https://www.openattestation.com/docs/developer-section/libraries/remote-files/decentralized-renderer/decentralized-renderer-react-template>, 
Svelte 
<https://www.openattestation.com/docs/developer-section/libraries/remote-files/decentralized-renderer/decentralized-renderer-svelte-template>or 
Vue 
<https://www.openattestation.com/docs/developer-section/libraries/remote-files/decentralized-renderer/decentralized-renderer-vue-template>.  
These are Javascript frameworks that force layouts to be created by 
software engineers.  And they require Git Pull Requests to deploy or update.

**

**

But we believe that graphics designers - not engineers - should be able 
to easily create certificate layouts and deploy them in the NextCert 
Issuer.  This is why we use HTML and CSS to create responsive layouts 
and why the NextCert Issuer supports uploading of layouts using zip 
packages.
