This is awesome! I built a similar tool as an experiment while at Recurse: https://github.com/zephraph/webview. Didn’t really do any heavy lifting though, just reused some of Tauri’s crates. Does Bun run on the same process as the GUI binding? OSX steals the main thread when rendering a native window which made me lean towards separating the processes. Still wonder if there’s a better way.

I’m using bun for the main process. Bun runs a zig binary which can call objc/c methods. So the “main native application thread” is technically the zig process.

Then there’s all kinds of fancy rpc between bun and zig and between bun and browser contexts.

Ah, cool, that’s essentially what I’m doing too. Rust binary does the system interactions. I’m just using a pretty simple json RPC over stdio though.
