Upstream Deno blockers
- Including assets (https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/17994)
- Custom conditions exports (https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/23757)
We need both to reach feature-parity with Bun, and make compilation of Primate apps on Deno possible
@gedw99 No pressure. I myself am evaluating other webview solutions to see how we can get mobile support in. Just look at it when you have time, leisure and inspiration.
Oh don't get me wrong. I'd love to use the golang one if it's better than what we have, I just haven't had the time to look at it myself.
I've also considered writing my own wrapper library in Zig, but I also haven't had the time to do that, either. :)
https://github.com/rcompat/rcompat/tree/master/packages/webview wraps around the webview C library (at https://github.com/webview/webview), which has no mobile support.
I wrote up (partially) about it in this deep dive over here, if you're interested (and have some time -- it's long), https://superarch.org/theanswerisc/primate-native-conditional-exports-debarrelling.html
