Fuse Development Update - Native View Module

[breautek]

Just thought to give an update on what's been happening behind the scenes. Especially since it looks like the project is going inactive.

I'm a one-man army but I can ensure you I've been plugging away.

What I've been working on is a native view module, a module not intended to be used directly by applications, but can be used to support other modules in providing a native view container to be overlaid on top of the webview, synced to a chosen DOM node in the webview.

This means that the native view container will be the same size and position as seen on the screen and can be used to populate native view content. Some examples may include:

• Map View
• Video Player
• Other complicated medium that is inefficient to traverse data to the webview.

Optionally, a secondary webview can be built to build UI on top of the native view layer. This webview will be it's own process, separate from the main app webview, but will have a communication channel to send serialized string messages, to respond to click actions for example.

The module is still a work in progress and further updates will be announced at a later date.
