About

Code is here in test-rt repository: https://github.com/otcshare/test-rt

This is a prototype of Cameo launcher which is based on CEF3. It is currently only tested on Linux.

The purpose to build the prototype is:

Understand whether CEF3 could be a solution for implementing our runtime. In particular understand in detail whether the Issues with CEF identified are still issues today.
Identify which functionalities we need from an API that could replace CEF3 if we choose not to use it.

What's done

Basic window / loading functionality
Example of builtin extensions: those that will be part of our runtime and compile together with it.

On going

Example of dynamic extensions: those that are compiled by users of runtime to extend it with specialized, app-specific APIs.
Current extensions execute code in render process, make an example in which code is executed in browser process to evaluate complexity.
Run the example in another platform.
