devs being lazy and wanting to wrap webpages into "apps" has been a thing forever. android solved it (relatively) well over a decade ago, they all share one main underlying component.is there really no other fucking way to make equivalent software on windows/mac/linux without bundling a dedicated special snowflake entire chromium instance & engine into it?
Because html/css/js was proven to be the best development stack for fast iteration with immediate feedback, which really helps you get great results without spending months on the same feature built in compiled code.
>>109521150That doesn't address my question, you retarded dalit. I don't mind web technologies being integrated into desktop programs. Now: why exactly does Electron need a unique, entirely isolated full-blown instance of Chromium for each program using it? Why can't it function as an integrated runtime component?>mub webview2Nothing uses it.
>>109521196because (You) will depend on Google and (You) will like it.
>>109521196no clue how android actually works, but if i had to guess,Pretty sure System Webview runs in the background 24/7 in order to work like that and it works kind of like a command buffer. Therefore, You'd likely need to have some master program running in the background 24/7 that simply spawns and iterates upon windows whenever the sub-program is executed. This prevents each program using the framework from needing duplicate bloated backends and could actually make 'em really fucking small. Optimizations made to the master program then spread downstream to the sub-programs, and, as long as you don't fuck up ABI, you can have some serious backwards/forwards compatibility (Android 2.0 apps can work fine on Android 10 for example)On Android I've been accustomed to making strange faces at apps that weigh more than 5MB. That's pretty damn good in 2026.It's not a bad idea at all.
>>109521196It is an integrated runtime component though. I think you misunderstand just how much stuff a browser has to do to provide a good environment to the JS that it runs.If you want a pure HTML/CSS renderer you might be interested in something like Dioxus.
>>109521196sex me
>>109521150this really is the best explanation.
>>109521196>calls others dalit>asks questions so unbelievably retarded that only brown skin could come up with
>>109521196nearly all software packages some type of runtime enviornment with it. you only complain about this one because it's easy for your retarded self to understand.
>>109521116people are really just clueless about tcl/tk.and it's easier to hire web code monkeys to do web and desktop shit alike.
>>109521150>>109522748HTML/CSS/JS are great, but React and other frameworks that work in similar ways are retarded slop which wastes resources. It is possible to write a useful framework in J's without all that Recat bullshit, which comes down to vdom, rendering html with js and stuff like that. But for some reason that stupid shit won and now everything is incredibly slow and laggy, I hate this timeline.
>>109521566is this a good idea
>>109522830only an indian would know what dalit means without looking it up
