WebView2 test app (for WebView CG)

[AshleyScirra]

Hi folks - I just wanted to draw some attention here to a new open source Microsoft Edge WebView2 test app I've built, called CanIWebView2. This has been developed for the WebView Community Group. You can find the repository here, including pre-compiled binaries: https://github.com/WebView-CG/CanIWebView2

At the moment it's just a minimal test app which loads a URL specified in a config.json file. You can also customize several settings in config.json (all are detailed in the readme).

One of the goals of the WebView CG is to provide such apps to make it easier to test different kinds of webviews, and have a consistent minimal reproduction codebase for filing issues, testing, or other technical purposes. Similar apps have been developed for the Android WebView and iOS WKWebView. I'm interested in any feedback and especially whether the Microsoft Edge WebView2 team think it would perhaps be suitable as a standard for filing issues. It's using C++/Win32 but it's easy to configure to point at web content for things like web API issues that only occur in WebView2, and perhaps similar apps could be made using other bindings like .NET if others thought that'd be useful (although I don't have so much experience with those other technologies). Let me know any thoughts!
