While this definitely sounds like a good alternative to everything bundling its own Electron, I do have some questions.
To make sure I understand how viable this solution is...
On Windows, WebWindow uses the new Chromium-based Edge via webview2, assuming you have that browser installed (it could fall back on older Edge if you don’t, but I haven’t implemented that)
So this will currently only work for those running the absolutely newest version of Windows 10?
(But if the user does, you get a reasonably up to date and capable web-engine, which sounds good)
On Mac, it uses the OS’s built-in WKWebView, which is the same technology behind Safari
Sounds decent, I guess?
On Linux, it uses WebKitGTK+2, which is yet again a WebKit-based technology
Isn't WebKitGTK horribly outdated, or have things improved recently? Couldn't that be a source of issues down the road?
