lmbek/gobek

gobek framework: This framework uses Chrome (Windows) or Chromium (linux) as frontend by opening them with cmd/terminal and hosting a localhost webserver, while opening chrome/chromium with --app and --user-directory arguments. The frontend can be changed by the user in runtime, while the backend needs to be compiled/build.

Software needs a compile/build option, to include its own version of chromium

The software needs to have an option, that can be set in main.go, so the script will use some internal browser like chromium or webview2 etc. Then there will be 2 setup files, that users can choose between. The installation that takes around 15MB (not real measurements), or the installation that takes around 100MB - 4gb (not real measurements).

It's good to give users 2 different install options

winapi32 needs to be ignored on other

winapi32 needs to be ignored on other operating systems than windows

Launching Chrome/Chromium on Mac (Darwin)

Application needs to be able to launch on Mac computers

Starting Chrome on windows needs to be bidirectional (Kernel32)

Probably need help with this issue

When starting chrome on windows in go with exec.command or go-cmd (github repos), then the application start without any way of signalling (exec.command) or only with one-way signalling (go-cmd), while we needs to signal both ways.

An example is that in linux, we can open chromium and interrupt the software from the terminal, while we can also interrupt the terminal by closing the chromium window that we just opened.

This issue could be solved with the C# project that can be found at https://github.com/NineNineFive/windowsProcessLauncher (private repository - ask @NineNineFive to get access to the repository). The project worked by importing kernel32 dll and setting a ctrlhandler and setting process.enableRaisingEvents to true on a new process

Warning on Linux needed when chromium cannot be found

In version 0.7.0 windows (chrome) got a gobek.GiveWarning boolean, that can be set to true or false. By default it is set to true, which gives users a CMD with a warning, when they dont have chrome installed on "required" location. It would be handy to have a similar one for linux. This is a TODO
