GUADEC 2018 - Juan Pablo Ugarte - Maxwell, Embedding widgets in WebKit
Channel: GUADEC
Date: 2018-07-25

Maxwell is a proof of concept library that extends WebKitWebView to let you embed/pack Gtk widgets in it using good old GtkContainer API.

Inspired by Broadway, Maxwell renders all its children in an offscreen window and integrate them into the DOM tree by drawing on a HTML5 canvas element.

In this talk we go trough the juicy part of the implementation details, a few test cases and a real world application of the library.
