Alternative Front End Viewers for Flicktok
- Pywebview
- Added an example for pywebview here: https://github.com/arazzz/flicktok_testing/tree/alt/pywebview/alt_webview
- Tested using GTK on Linux & WebView2 on Windows.
- Qt backend still couldn’t play reels; GTK works but not terribly performant. Webview2 works great on Windows.
- Workable alternative to Electron on Windows as WebView2 provides a nearly identical runtime. Can still create all application UI using front-end web tools with this approach. Only challenge may be with easily embedding a browser window (displaying Instagram) into a larger application window (the application UI) as enabled by Electron’s BrowserView – but probably still doable.
