> Web technologies belong in the browser That ship has sailed a long time ago. These days sometimes whole operating systems are based on HTML based interfaces

  WebOS applications don't ship a browser alongside them, they use what is already installed. Doing Web development alongside native since Web exists, hasn't made me like shipping browsers with applications (or Web views) any better during the last 20 years.

    This framework does this same thing: > It does not embed a browser, so it is resource efficient. Instead, it uses the native rendering engine for the platform. On Windows, this is the new Microsoft Webview2 library, built on Chromium. https://wails.io/docs/introduction#native-elements https://wails.io/docs/introduction#native-elements

      You missed my remark between parenthesis.

        Not really sure what your point is. That these things are unimpressive? Agreed. It's just one lazy approach to a problem (multi-platform apps) that's not easy to solve. Webviews are a cheap way to get there.
        • pjmlp 4y ago
          The way is to use the Web as is, and native for everything else.
          • solardev 4y ago
            Yeah, if you have unlimited time and money.

              Apparently plenty of business do.

                May you be lucky enough to work for them.

                  Plenty of people are.
