From desktop to web (what happened to PyQooxCard)

Several years ago, I modified the layouteditor and created an application call 
PyQooxCard.  (see: 
https://sites.google.com/a/qxtransformer.org/qxtransformer/documentation-0-3/pqc ).
  It allows developers to run the same GUI at the desktop and easily post that 
to the web.

I thought that should have been a big deal.  Not a single soul downloaded my 
demo.

The only one benefited is the company I work for 
(see http://epc.powersystemadvisors.com/ and http://showcase.powersystemadvisors.com/#Form -
 those are PythonCard applications).

I never kept up with that project.  May be the idea of running an application 
over browser is still too much for the world.

My honest guess is more that people perceive Pythoncard as a dead project.  It 
never even reached 1.0 status.  So, why would they invest in a tool that's dead?

That's why I honest believe (pleading, really) that we pull things together and 
release a 1.0.  Look at the list of items I've added:

pdfwindow, flashwindow, iehtmlwindow, drag-&-dropEnabled Tree, minimizableWindow 
(minimize to the windows taskbar), matlibplotCanvas, actionEditor, MDL windows, 
Sash windows, radio buttons (not group, we already have that), multi-panel 
Windows...

Doesn't that deserve a new release?
