Or port the app from Electron to WebKit, which seems to be the only web engine out there with a stable API.
WebKit is much lower-level than Electron; it requires C++ programming; and (from what I heard in the JavaFX WebEngine group) updating to a new WebKit version was a fair amount of work. I recently ported the DomTerm terminal emulator to Electron and it is very nice (multi-pane, menus, etc). At this port the Electron port is the preferred port. I think the best alternative at this time using Fedora packages is QtWebEngine. I have a QtWebEngine port of DomTerm, but it is written in C++ and is more verbose and harder to maintain. The Qt ecosystem (QXML, QtScript, QtQuick, QtWebEngine) might be a good alternative to Electron, but I haven't yet found documentation/example code that makes it as simple and clear. I probably haven't looked far enough. Regardless, getting Electron packages for Fedora would be highly desirable. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
