“Embedders” here seems to mean “people who want to embed a web UI in a desktop application.” This confused me at first because I wondered why an embedded systems UI framework only supported Windows and macOS instead of Windows and small Unixes.




"Embedding" is often the term used to describe using a scripting language runtime within a larger app, for example embedding a Lua runtime in a game or a Javascript engine in a database. I'd imagine that was the context for using that term here.


Thanks for the tip, will update the language to clarify.
