  > And https://github.com/zserge/webview https://github.com/zserge/webview doesn't seem to offer a lot of cross platform functionality Not to drag this too far off topic—but outside of the API differences between webviews— what do you mean? I imagine it could be used to serve something like Slack's web app for example which [I imagine] would have been built to bend to each of those browsers' functionality to begin with.

    The point is that you would have to re-implement Node's/Electron's APIs on top of each browser engine, so that OS functionality could be exposed to the JavaScript code. That webview project does not expose very much in the way of system API calls, which is what the parent was referring to.

      I see now. So basically for anything beyond replicating a web app or pointing to (à la Slack, HipChat, Stride, etc)—or anything else that doesn't require native access. It's a very cool library outside of that—for any gawkers here.

        That would be a cool project to try to make electron without blink

    Unified API for UI dialogs, file handling, file drag and drop, clipboard, keyboard shortcuts, http(s) requests, image loading, OS notifications, OS menus etc.. ? Maybe one should use the webview repo in conjunction with another GUI cross platform library ?
