    I tried this same approach (embedded webview instead of e.g. electron -- https://github.com/rdaum/vstwebview) for something last year and I agree the biggest problem is Linux support, specifically WebKit GTK.

    On Windows, and to a lesser degree on the Mac, this approach actually went pretty smoothly. But WebKit GTK introduces all sorts of problems -- having to tie into GTK's event loop even though you don't want it, dealing with distribution variances, event binding issues, etc.

    I suspect the answer here for Tauri is that someone needs to expend the effort to come up with a good Rust crate bundling of Chromium or Gecko or etc that isn't tied into GTK. Yes, it would defeat the "just use the platform's webview instead of bundling" line, but really it would only be a concern for Linux.

    I spent some time last year building out a UI framework for VSTs based on embedded HTML, after being frustrated with the terrible VST GUI package from Steinberg. I think it showed promise, but I'm unable to continue to make progress with it:

    It'd be great if somebody were to run with it. I feel I made good initial progress. These days, I have to concentrate on my paying work (in Rust, not C++) instead.

  • Show HN: Vstwebview, write VST3 audio interfaces using webtech

    So I went looking for alternatives. Embedding something like QT ends up with a bunch of issues involving the threading model and so on. Others have tried and failed.

    There's stuff like JUCE but it's not just a UI framework but a whole toolkit with its own world view and licensing etc.

    Then I got thinking about how -- as much as I kind of hate it -- the web is really the standard for cross platform UIs. These days it's pretty fast even on fairly low end devices. Lots of toolkit options. Canvas support. Multiple languages. Decent security model. And both Windows and Mac come with embeddable webview components (Edge and Webkit).

    So I threw together:

    https://github.com/rdaum/vstwebview/blob/main/README.md

    Still a bit rough around the edges and somewhat untested, but would love contributions.
