Ask HN: Anybody know of a web viewport application?
2 points by austin-cheney on Dec 29, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Does anybody know of an application that displays web code, rendered HTML/CSS and executes JavaScript, but does almost nothing else?

Ultimately, I would like to have an application that has no security and can only make network calls to localhost or talk to localhost via some API but does nothing else a modern web browser does besides execution frontend code. As a bonus it would be nice if would support extended features via a build option like WebGPU and WASM.



In what way does Electron not satisfy this?


Cordova for phone, Electron for desktop.
