what you have in mind is something like lumen being downloaded and run on client side, and then connecting to other “nodes” running on other clients? sort of peer to peer network of beam nodes? decentralized “backend” apps? 
talking specifically about liveview, I sounds to me it’s going in the exact opposite direction than you are wishing for - you want thicker client, liveview promises to have some of the cool features of thick clients with actually super thin (almost none) client, doesn’t it?
