• 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

• Self-contained highly-portable Python distributions

  > When you download Python from http://python.org (on Linux or macOS), what you're actually downloading is an installer that builds Python from source on your machine. > The net effect is that on Linux and macOS, you can't "download a Python binary" from... anywhere. Other than the python-build-standalone project. Are you sure this is right about macOS? I just had a look inside the macOS installer from python.org... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• How to Build a Dependency Map of a Legacy Codebase Using AI Tools

  137Foundry provides legacy modernization services that include dependency mapping as a foundational assessment phase. Prettier and ESLint are useful companion tools for enforcing code style consistency as the refactoring proceeds. Node.js and Python.org official documentation are authoritative references for understanding the import and module systems of those runtimes. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• How to Prepare a Legacy Codebase for AI-Assisted Refactoring

  For Python codebases, tools like Python's built-in ast module and import analysis scripts can generate call graphs. For JavaScript, ESLint and module analysis tools serve a similar purpose. GitHub advanced search can help you find all internal references to a specific function across a large repository. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
