Usage

To create a Window:

$ hcv -w <width> -h <height> -c <html/contents> -u <url>

For example:

$ hcv -w 150 -h 150 -c "<h1>hello</h1>"

This will create a window looking like this:

The possibilities are endless, for example here is how to create a
file viewer:

$ hcv -w 640 -h 480 -c "<pre>$(< myfile.txt)</pre>"

Handle a button click:

$ hcv -w 300 -h 300 -c "<button id='btn'>Click</button><script>document.getElementById('btn').addEventListener('click', function() { alert(1); })</script>"

You can also open a URL:

$ hcv -w 640 -h 480 -u "http://localhost/"

Accessing the file system and things like that

To be able to access the file system, you could for example run a flask server under HCV. Here is an example.
