• Electrobun v1: Build fast, tiny, and cross-platform desktop apps with TypeScript

  There may not be an official webview, but all (?) major distributions have libwebkit2gtk, which is used by Wails (Go) and Tauri (rust). So it's a de facto standard if not official. https://webkitgtk.org/ https://wails.io/docs/gettingstarted/installation/ https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Trust in Firefox and Mozilla Is Gone – Let's Talk Alternatives

  > Is it something a small team could conceivably do if you placed reasonable constraints on it: one platform at first, no cloud sync, minimal feature set, etc.? Yes. There's a `webkitdev` Docker image which includes the required software to build WebKit on Windows¹, and you can use Playwright to run WebKit (including Web Inspector) on Windows very easily². If you wanted to start with Linux, WebKitGTK would... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way.

  One small note regarding Native Webview meant above. You can find ultimate information on this topic here. In a nutshell, Tauri applications use as HTML renderer Webkit (safari engine) on MacOS, Microsoft Edge WebView2 on Windows, and WebKitGTK on Linux (port of Webkit for Linux). Pay attention to the fact that a Tauri application could behave differently on different platforms according to the information above. - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Fix Apple Bugs using a "Secret" Linux Browser

  Web (WebKitGTK) there is an alternative webkit browser that shares a lot of bugs, shortcomings, and peculiarities with Apple Safari. Simply called "Web" on my Ubuntu laptop, that "A simple, clean, beautiful view of the web. Powered by WebKitGTK 2.38.5" has also been known as Gnome Web or Epiphany in alternative builds and former version. It's got a beautiful minimalist globe icon, and it can save you time and... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Tauri reached 1.0

  So the Tauri website links to webkitgtk.org which at least is getting regularly updated, though I don't know just how closely it tracks upstream WebKit. Source: about 4 years ago

• The (Lazy) Git UI You Didn't Know You Need

  Lazygit is great, I use it all the time for straight forward git-fu. But if you do any advanced work that involves merging a complex codebase across multiple branches and having to manage your load of conflicts, I find Fork[1] (the free version does fine) still takes the cake for that, as the clarity and lack of keyboard bindings, is essential; to make good, conscious decisions.

• GitFourchette: A FOSS Git Fork Alternative for Linux

  Kind of a confusing headline if you have never heard of the "Fork" GUI client for git on non-Linux platforms. https://git-fork.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I struggled with Git, so I'm making a game to spare others the pain

  Try Fork, it's still obviously git, but it's the easiest I've found so far: https://git-fork.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rewrite Git history via drag-and-drop

  Agreed. I’d pay for this (I pay for [Fork][1]), but never as a subscription. [1]: https://git-fork.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
