To be more explicit with my suggestion. If you can provide an Electron/Tauri alternative by offering all the desktop packaging, trays, file system isolation and slap on a webview. You might more readily have people/companies building with Humble or whatever that packaging system is. Then there may be more funding for continuing work on Humble. Of course this is theoretical but I’m pretty sure any Clojure shop would use the native Clojure alternative without hesitation.

well the point of humble is to offer an alternative to web view. If you build with web stack anyways I’m not sure how Humble can improve your experience

Yea I get that. Perhaps my thoughts are more upstream to JWM.

Can humble do a webview? I currently have web apps built in Electric. Tauri is kind of an unpleasant experience last I used it and I just had a realisation that Humble could provide a lot of the same ground minus the cross platform to mobile provided by Tauri roadmap. I know this is against the spirit of Humble but it could also be a nice bridge towards Humble being useful as the UI tooling gets fleshed out more?

cool. Yea happy for it to be a library. Just hashing out the idea space to figure out how I never have to leave Clojure hehe

not yet, but maybe some day, as a library?

If I was a Clojure startup that wanted to deploy a native app fast my current best option is Tauri and web technologies. Which also requires graalvm compatible builds of my application since Tauri only accepts binary executables.
