Golang and desktop wrappers to web apps

Authors: Aoi Koizumi <novaburst@dimension.sh>

Date: 27 Mar, 2022

I've been experimenting with the webview[1] library in Golang to test a

couple things yesterday, and because I had nothing good else to do, or

something. The whole thing at least on *nix systems is that it seems to

use webkit2gtk, while on macOS it's safari's webkit, and that it's

mostly written in C/C++ with bindings for other languages, instead of

only JavaScript like Electron.js does, sort of. So far here's what I did

yesterday.

Cinny (yet another web client for Matrix)

Did not crash or get disconnected as far I kept it running for a couple

hours.

SchildiChat (element-based client)

This is a rather heavy thing, which of course it works perfectly on say,

G**gle Chrom|e|ium obviously, and I even expected it to crash the

webview, but to my surprise, it only ran a little slow, but otherwise

worked fine.

Telegram Web X

I get instantly disconnected from it, and runs slow-ish as well, because

it's too fancy (i'd say extremely) and I don't really like fancy stuff

if it is hardly useful.
