@pastelpunkbandit @f0x doesn’t flutter have interop with js via some means? 🤔

@kim @f0x yeah but only full working on web
if ur on mobile u can embed the default os webview
and on desktop ur just fucked

@pastelpunkbandit @kim huh, why wouldn't desktop use a webkit thingie too

@f0x @kim i think its bc then itd run into some of the same issues that electron has where it doesnt wanna bundle basically a complete browser bc at that point u could just use react native or smth

and on mobile u have the advantage of not having to bundle it bc its already built in

@f0x @kim thats my explanation at least

@f0x @kim and i think it makes sense since google also wants to use it for lower powered devices like chromebooks n stuff so not using a lot of ram is p nice

@pastelpunkbandit @kim hmm but chromebooks are basically a webbrowser

@f0x @kim yeah i guess you could also do like,,,,
browser embedding and stuff there?

but yeah idk im p happy that it doesnt bundle a browser since i only have 8gb of ram lmao
and rn loris is using 200 - 300mb of ram while displaying images and posts n stuff
which i personally think is p good

@pastelpunkbandit @kim that's what electron runs into when poorly packaged yeah, but afaik you can share the runtime as an external dependency. QT/GTK also provide a webkit type thing in similar ways

@kim @f0x like the main way i know of is this
https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.18.0/dart-js/dart-js-library.html
but u cant compile to desktop anymore when using this
