What is a “vanilla web interface”?

Question

Someone told me to look into \"vanilla web interface\". I have Googled it, but didn\'t find any relevant result, at least that was I thought. What is it?

Answer 1

The term "vanilla" usually refers to something that's plain and unadorned (from vanilla ice-cream) or perhaps simple (as in basic), so they're asking you to look into a "simple web interface" without any unnecessary complications.
