WebView

A messenger, a gaming console app, a music player, and a torrent client.

This happens because many desktop apps are built using WebView technology that includes browser telemetry by default.

We also found standard web analytics tools like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager running inside desktop processes, not just in browsers.

More importantly, the majority of tracking traffic did not go to third parties.

stand? Tauri Mobile is interesting.

It uses the platform's native WebView.

So on Android, it's the system, WebView, not a bundled Chromium.

And the backend logic runs in Rust instead of JavaScript.

But for background processing, push reliability, and camera-based workflows, the exact things Daniel's app depends on, the gap remains significant in 2026.

It's not closing quickly.

It's being bridged by tools like Capacitor rather than by the platform itself.

Another misconception, single codebase means single build artifact.

They now have a built-in image library, so you can decode, resize, rotate, and encode JPEGs, PNGs, WebP, GIFs, a bunch of others on macOS and Windows.

There's new built-in WebView.

You can navigate, click, scroll, run JavaScript, and take screenshots.

On macOS, it uses the system WebKit with nothing to install.

And in particular, things that are going to be binary installs.

Like your image stuff, that's a binary install.

WebView.

WebView is clearly a binary install.

And since the J- JavaScript ecosystem doesn't have a canonical nonprofit MPM client, Hutch has the lightweight MPM resolver built in so you can do Hutch install to install your MPM packages.

Electrobun 2.0 moves the core of the framework into Zig, so it's faster, lets you choose Cottontail, Bun, Zig, Rust, Go, or Odin for your main process independently of whether your UI uses system WebViews, pinned Chromium, native WebGPU, or some combination of them.

And then Warren, which is sort of the rabbit that's going...

This is a lot of rabbit terminology here.

Last year there was a, um, uh, Blackbaud experts, uh, roundtable, uh, that was, uh, really exciting.

Got a lot of, uh, was able to actually provide a lot of really great feedback from our organization and other organizations on how we're using the tools, especially as we move, uh, fully into WebView.

Um, but something else, um, that I, I'll touch on is I can't remember if it was my first BBCon or my second BBCon, but I was attending a session on, uh, Luminate customizations, and at the end of the presentation, I had asked a question and the presenter, uh, gave a, a great answer, and they were, uh, just another organization that was using the platform.

But then there was actually, uh, someone from the product team in the session just, uh, attending, and came up to me after the session and said, you know, "Here's some more information about it, but also reach out to me, um, with any questions, and I'd be happy to help." And that's someone that I still talk to today, and that's, you know, that's two or three years, uh, going.

And it runs native codex execution right on the metal.

Wait, native? So no subtle translation layer, no running inside a heavy WebView wrapper pretending to be a system at?

None of that.

Native DEV and RPM packages built specifically for X64 and ARM64 architectures.
