uivonim VS capacitor

I’ve never used Redux, just haven’t cared to look into it for any projects I’ve worked on, but from a quick glance at an example it seems like it could be useful/convenient. Although then again you can write an event dispatcher in like 30 lines of TS, probably with redux-like state with a little extra work, although I’ve never tried, and that could be a bad idea in practice idk.

Instead, Nvim provides an RPC protocol that may be implemented by external GUIs. For example, there exists a plugin that embeds Nvim into Firefox when editing textboxes, GUIs that leverage Nvim's multigrid support to support smooth scrolling, translucent popups, minimaps, etc. such as Uivonim, Goneovim and Neovide, and more.

Porting my (forked, so not all my work) text editor uivonim to use Tauri instead of Electron. PR for those curious is here: https://github.com/smolck/uivonim/pull/336

Of course, I'm biased, since I work on a GUI frontend to neovim written in electron (that I forked from a project that already used electron), but I have found that it's not as bad as people make it out to be, or at least that it doesn't have to be that bad. I would like to get rid of it though if I can, maybe by doing the rendering with wgpu-rs and GUI things with egui.

I came up with this idea one day as something I could add to uivonim and the result was kinda cool; just thought I'd clean it up a bit and share. Not sure if I'll ever end up adding this for-real, but it's at least a little fun to play with ;)

It should also be mentioned that the official VSCode Ionic Plugin is also capable of migrating your existing application. Capacitor v6 now also supports bun as a package manager.

> PWA optionally bundled with some native components for filing the gaps, as in Tauri.

Isn't that essentially Capacitor?

Have you experienced slow scrolling issues?

Capacitor

For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

The traditional alternative to Electon on mobile platforms is Capacitor (which uses the system webview):

Ionic Framework UI Components are used to build a website and then a mobile application is built using Ionic Capacitor. Ionic UI components are not required but are used for UX. The vue js code presented here will work fine in a separate application.

Welcome to Part Two of this four-part series on building a mobile game using open source technologies. We'll be using Phaser, along with Ionic, Capacitor, and Vue.
