Scala Native ❤️ Scala.js ❤️ webview

This is a very small demonstrator of

1. Using webview library from Scala Native
2. Bundling a Scala.js frontend as part of a SN binary
3. Running Scala.js frontend inside of a desktop application
4. soon invoking a function on the backend

Note: this exact version only works on MacOS

Similar to how different the webview setup instructions are across platforms, same needs to be done to the SN compilation/linking.

It's not by any means complicated, but for a demonstrator app it's too much effort to test it on all 3 platform.

Running on MacOS

If you have

1. Build webview static library:

git submodule update --init
cd webview
clang++ webview.cc -std=c++17 -framework WebKit -c 
ar rc webview.a webview.o

2. Run the app:

sbt native/run

That's it.
