Hi! I'm trying to understand is it possible to use WebView for VST UI? For example, using these bindings: https://github.com/Boscop/web-view

Did you manage to figure out if it is possible to use it? I am trying to figure out how to build the UI. What options are available?

Hi @jfalameda! I didn't manage to figure it out 100%, but there are some findings I've got some time ago:

I was able to launch the VST on Mac with WebView based on rust-vst-gui. Here's the fork with my mac-test branch: https://github.com/satelllte/rust-vst-gui/pull/1/files
There's an experimental framework called react-juce, which allows to use React.js UI with JUCE framework. So you can check it out, as well as more organised simple GainPlugin example I've put based on it
