Title: Golang and desktop wrappers to web apps
Authors: Aoi Koizumi <novaburst@dimension.sh>

I've been experimenting with the webview[1] library in Golang to test a
couple things yesterday, and because I had nothing good else to do, or
something. The whole thing at least on *nix systems is that it seems to
use webkit2gtk, while on macOS it's safari's webkit, and that it's
mostly written in C/C++ with bindings for other languages, instead of
only JavaScript like Electron.js does, sort of. So far here's what I did
yesterday.
## Cinny (yet another web client for Matrix)
Did not crash or get disconnected as far I kept it running for a couple
hours.
Code: https://git.envs.net/novaburst/cinny-desktop-webkit
## SchildiChat (element-based client)
This is a rather heavy thing, which of course it works perfectly on say,
G**gle Chrom|e|ium obviously, and I even expected it to crash the
webview, but to my surprise, it only ran a little slow, but otherwise
worked fine.
## Telegram Web X
I get instantly disconnected from it, and runs slow-ish as well, because
it's too fancy (i'd say extremely) and I don't really like fancy stuff
if it is hardly useful.
