One of the main reasons for using webviews in desktop apps is to avoid sending sensitive data over the network. For eg, in our open-source project DevToolbox, we want to embed CyberChef while loading it locally.
When I tried using a file:/// URL in the webview.open(), it did not work (probably because of app sandboxing). No errors were shown, but a blank webview opened with the right size.
It would be very useful to see an example of a local HTML file from the app bundle/assets loaded in the webview (with Javascript support).
