Hi all. I posting here in response to comments on bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775680 ( summary: broadway support likely to be removed from Gtk+4.0 ).
I think it would be a massive pity to drop broadway support from gtk. It's been a god-send for me and those I work with - it provides the best remote access to gtk apps and performs way better than vnc. I've actually been working on an authentication + transparent proxy for broadway, so multiple users can access multiple apps all via https on port 443: https://tesla.duckdns.org/transparent-proxy-for-broadway-gtk3-html5-backend/ I've dabbled in C here and there ( mainly patching minor bugs ). It's been quite a long time since I used it at all. However I'm interested in attempting to keep broadway support alive. I currently develop gtk apps ( every day ) using the Perl bindings. So I'm familiar with it from an application-developer perspective. I have no idea how big/complex a task it is I'm talking about. Could someone please comment on the difficulty of keeping broadway support working, given the planned gtk+4.x changes. I guess this would be easier if someone offers to mentor me ( please ) - though I realise we all have busy lives. Another option, if the task is too large or difficult for me, is to either offer a bounty here, or to post a project on something like freelancer. I also realise that work done via freelancer would possibly be of questionable quality, and would quite possibly break with later gtk+ versions again. Any comments on this option? Another option would be another remote-desktop / remote-app capability. I've read a little on wayland / weston and RDP. I think RDP would be a reasonable option, though haven't managed to get it working yet. What does everyone think my best options are, and why?
