Is there a deno equivalent for WebContentsView in deno desktop
✨Frontend Development
Hi! First of all, I'm really excited about Deno Desktop. I'm seriously considering using it as the foundation for an open-source TV operating system I'm building.
One feature I haven't been able to find any information about is embedded browser views.
A big part of my OS will be web apps like YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Instagram, etc. I don't want to open them in a separate browser window—I want to embed them inside my own UI, similar to how Electron can use WebContentsViewWebContentsView(or previously <webview><webview>).
Basically, I'm looking for something that lets me:
- Create an embedded browser instance inside my app - Load any URL - Have separate storage/cookies for different apps if needed - Control navigation (back, forward, reload) - Communicate with the embedded page when appropriate * Treat it like a "tab" or app inside my TV shell
Is something like this already possible in Deno Desktop, or is it planned for the future?
If not, would this be something the team is interested in adding? I think it would make Deno Desktop a really strong choice for applications like desktop shells, TV launchers, kiosk systems, and other apps that need to embed web content.
Thanks, and great work on Deno Desktop so far!
