bevy_wry_webview

A small library for embedding a wry web-view into Bevy apps

What Works

• Syncing the web-view's position and size to a bevy_ui element.
• Input, transparency
  • Free thanks to wry
• MacOS, Windows, Linux (w/ X11)

To-Do List

• Decent Documentation
• Allow Despawning of WebViews
• Better Modularity
  • Possibly encompass into a larger library with different web-view backends
• Off-screen Rendering
  • Not possible on Windows
    • May add for other platforms anyway behind a feature flag
• Better Platform Support
  • Mobile
  • Web support (ironic right)
  • Wayland
    • Seemingly impossible
• Occlusion by other bevy_ui elements
  • This works using overlay windows, so occlusion would likely involve a lot of jank
• IPC Support
  • Ergonomic tools for adding your own IPC
  • A full IPC to allow JS to access the bevy World
    • Likely requires "Fully dynamic term based queries and builder API" to be merged

CrabNebula and the Wry team - Worked with us to get an embeddable web-view implemented, a surprisingly difficult but interesting task

Nicopap - Served as the main source of Bevy knowledge through all of this, helped us understand the problem scope of the Bevy side a ton
