  • Publication number: 20230353625
    Abstract: A system for executing thin client applications, the system configured to: generate, by a thin client application executing on a client computing device, an initial content request identifying a platform; send the initial content request to a content provider; receive platform-independent initial content from the content provider in response to the initial content request; display the initial content on the client computing device; detect a user input associated with the initial content; send a user engagement request for secondary content; receive user-interactive secondary content server-side rendered in a platform-dependent format of the client computing device based on the platform identification; and display the secondary content on the display component.
