WebView / deep links

[gedw99]

Describe the feature

I use a web view so that on mobile and desktop I don’t have to upgrade the app stores all the time. It also means my api does not need to be versioned - a huge win .

the WASM GUI running in a WebView is good enough with Cogent.
The hrnl version works great for screen readers and Google seo indexing too .

https://github.com/gioui-plugins/gio-plugins/tree/main/webviewer Is what I use to do mobile and desktop . It’s golang .

it would be useful if cogent integrated this in whatever way they feel makes sends .

Deep linking allows a web call to a browser to then open the native app and then open the gui on the native app , using the web view, at the right route. It’s backend into all Desktop and mobile OS these days

I should not that this is currently dependent on gio .

That’s why I said it could be done however you see fit to fit in with the cogent architecture

Once we develop our htmlcore package further and add wasm support to it, we could consider supporting something like this there. However, there is probably much better performance when you run an app directly on the native device, and things like multi-window support on desktop will work much better on native. Therefore, we will probably focus more on improving infrastructure for app store deployment to make that process easy.

It was useful to me because it allowed real time schema evolution and migration .

That’s why I suggested it .
