The final sentence in the "Introduction" section:

WebUSB aims to solve the four goals of any interface being; fast to make, cross platform, look good, accessibility.

(a) reads like a marketing press-release, (b) makes absurd claims (a goal of ANY interface is "looks good"? Really?), and (c) is ungrammatical. I find some passages below give off whiffs of marketing-speak too, without having the time at present to catalogue them or justify adequately that assertion (sorry; maybe later.)

On top of this, is an "Introduction" section separate from the lede even appropriate? I don't recall seeing similar layout in similar articles. "Background" perhaps? HyperGigaMeh (talk) 08:36, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
