telltail-center VS Wails

Hi folks!

Telltail [1] lets you copy text from one device onto another. If you've used or ever known about Apple's Universal Clipboard, it is quite like that. It uses Tailscale [2] to achieve this.

I must tell you that setting it up requires you to have some familiarity with the terminal (which already comes installed on your computer).

I've written a blog post about it which you can find here [3]. The instructions to install it are here [4].

It is a personal project of mine and is not affiliated to or promoted by any org.

This is basically the same tech stack of an app I’ve been planning to build, but deployed as a desktop application using Wails: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails

Wails 2.6k

The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
