<div dir="ltr">I wrote a package to turn Hack applications into standalone apps using Webkit.

However, if I was going to write a desktop app based on an HTML GUI, I would bundle Webkit like this. It fixes such annoyances as "I closed the window but the program is still running."<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
as probably most people I find the GUI part of any application to be the hardest part.<br>
<br>
It just occurred to me that I *could* write my wxHaskell desktop application as a web app too.<br>
<br>
When the app starts, a haskell web server start listening on localhost port 8080 for example and I fire up a browser to page localhost:8080 without the user actually knowing too much about it.<br>
<br>
Is that a totally stupid idea?<br>
Which haskell web servers would make good candidates?<br>
Are there any *continuation* based web server in haskell, something similar to Smalltalk's Seaside?<br>
Is Hyena continuation-based?<br>
<br>
