+# Dioxus-webview
+
+Dioxus-webview bridges virtual and Webview DOMs together to make simple, portable, desktop applications. 
+
+Dioxus-webview is an attempt at making a simpler "Tauri" where creating desktop applications is as simple as:
+
+```rust
+// main.rs
+fn main() {
+   dioxus_webview::new(|ctx| {
+       let (count, set_count) = use_state(ctx, || 0);
+       html! {
+            <div>
+                <h1> "Dioxus Desktop Demo" </h1>
+                <p> "Count is {count}"</p>
+                <button onclick=|_| set_count(count + 1) >
+                    "Click to increment"
+                </button>
+            </div>
+       }
+   })
+   .configure_webview(|view| {
+      // custom webview config options 
+   })
+   .launch();
+}
+```
+
+and then to create a native .app:
+
+```
+dioxus bundle --platform macOS
+```
+
+## Goals
+
+Because the host VirtualDOM is running in its own native process, native applications can unlock their full potential.  Dioxus-webview is designed to be a 100% rust alternative to ElectronJS without the memory overhead or bloat of ElectronJS apps.
+
+By bridging the native process, desktop apps can access full multithreading power, peripheral support, hardware access, and native filesystem controls without the hassle of web technologies. Our goal with Dioxus-webview is to make it easy to ship both a web and native application, and quickly see large performance boosts without having to re-write the whole stack. As the dioxus ecosystem grows, we hope to see 3rd parties providing wrappers for storage, offline mode, etc that supports both web and native technologies.
