Spent some time learning this and playing with this till I ran into a roadblock that it doesn't support multiple windows which was a deal breaker for my idea. Wish I had the time to learn and contribute a PR. It was a great tool otherwise. I needed to do electron without the bloat and backend JS. There are no good solutions from what I researched, things like QT are still king in this area it seems.

Are tabs an option?
- _8j50 4y ago
  Nope, content needs to be on multiple monitors at once.

    I meant are tabbed views possible with wails?

      Not to mention a treeview !

Asked for the same thing, but it's impossible or too hard to do it. - https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/discussions/1452 https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/discussions/1452 - https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/2709 https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/2709

  These days any apps or framework written rust seems exotic. Atleast both are better than electron.

  Huh? Per the wails thread: > No multi window currently but planned after v2 release

When you say multiple windows, what do you mean? Both GH links mention using iframes. So do you mean multiple “windows” within the primary application window? Or do you mean multiple primary windows? Are you talking about tabs? Or multiple windows (like finder/explorer)?

  Multiple actual windows, Each window on a different monitor.

NeutralinoJS supports this, apparently: https://github.com/neutralinojs/neutralinojs/issues/249 https://github.com/neutralinojs/neutralinojs/issues/249

  Still JS.

Multiple windows has some interesting nuances but we do aim to tackle that post v2. You would be surprised at just how much is involved in refining something like this, even with just a single window to worry about.

  Oh I don't doubt that one bit. Thank you for your hard work on it.
