Yup. My markdown viewer (mvu) was implemented with webkit and gjs. Well, it works fine, but I'm not so happy with gjs, it feels too much like Java. :( I never came to use it as a front-end for everything. Still too clunky..
@gert I feel you on gjs. I was looking into using it at one point too. I think the thing I keep struggling with is that I want apps I make to be cross platform but all the options for that kinda suck or are limited for the protocol handlers use case. Right now I've been dreaming of Rust and maybe forking Servo.
@mauve I'm very cautious about The Linux Foundation, it is all Big Tech, even Mozilla foundation (Rust).
@gert Oh? I thought Rust was an independant thing now after mozilla had that string of abandoning a bunch of projects. https://foundation.rust-lang.org/
I usually don't worry about it too hard and prepare to pivot when stuff goes wrong. I generally just care that stuff is open source so I can dig in it :P
@mauve I'm afraid we'd have to wait very long for The Linux Foundation to follow their example..
