GUI crate (Part3: Using web technology)

[crlf0710]

Production ready GUI using web technology, with support for HTML dialog etc.

Seems libservo is the way to go?

I'm not sure; I heard of webrender being discussed as a potential way to render HTML UIs, but it seems some people are using libservo at least as proofs of concept, like servo-embedding-example.

I honestly wouldn't mind inlining what you've written into the list, but I'm curious what other features would be necessary at this point in your writing (emphasis mine):

Production ready GUI using web technology, with support for HTML dialog etc.

What is "etc."? I'm not familiar with this, and I'm sure a more elaborate list of features would only help a hopeful implementer. :)

I'm not very familiar with web-based GUI technologies too. I'll point to electron, cordova and react-native as examples of what people might be expecting, but sure, they might be an overkill.

I'm not sure that this use case isn't actually fulfilled yet -- between webrender, servo, and the new web-view crate, it seems like people are trying to fill this need already.

I'm planning on closing this issue by this coming Tuesday unless more feedback is received here. Thanks for the great issues @crlf0710!

No more discussion has happened here, so...closing!
