WeWeb + Electron / Tauri

Hi all,

I’ve been wondering if anybody has any experience with connecting WeWeb exported app to Electron or Tauri - is it even feasible?

Appreciate any suggestions :wink:

Thanks!

That’s a pretty nice question. It in theory should be doable, as WeWeb gives you the raw project code as well. The difficulty though might be higher, as the code is machine “compiled”

I have tried out electron once with bubble and it worked well and allowed us to do things like print without needing the browsers prompt which was nice, and I am thinking of using electron again for my current project here so I would like to here other peoples thoughts.

I thought the same thing, my project would be cool to have an app for it. How did you use electron in bubble? How do you think you would use it in weweb.io, would I have to use a section in custom dev?

@sam1 by this you mean that you iframed bubble app into Electron?

In bubble we were just trialling it and didn’t get to deep into it. But they have a pretty simple setup where you can give them a url to and they display that.

Ah, but if you’re going to use it like this without having all the benefits of Electron, such as the Windows API, etc, it’s better to activate the PWA and download the desktop application, right?

Hey, I have often considered using https://www.todesktop.com for that, but unfortunately, I haven’t had the need until now. It looks very promising, though. Just a tip, maybe it’s worth checking out… :grimacing:

@andystrb thanks!, I didn’t know this. Looks promising especially that you can test it out for free and play with it.
