cog by Igalia

 WPE launcher and webapp container.

Cog is a small single “window” launcher for the WebKit WPE port. It is small, provides no user interface, and is suitable to be used as a Web application container. The “window” may be fullscreen depending on the WPE backend being used.

This project provides the following components:

• libcogcore is a library with ready-to-use components typically needed for implementing applications which use the WPE WebKit API.

• cog is the launcher itself, implemented using the libcogcore library.

• cogctl is a tool which can be used to control a cog instance using the D-Bus session bus.

It is possible to disable building the cog and cogctl programs by passing -Dprograms=false to Meson.

Dependencies

Stable releases have the following dependencies:

• WPE WebKit 2.28.x
• WPEBackend-fdo 1.8.x (optional, recommended)

Note that building from the master branch will often require development releases of WPE WebKit, libwpe, and WPEBackend-fdo; while older Cog releases may have different version requirements.

Using Cog

Compiling Cog follows the usual procedure for projects which use Meson: meson setup build && ninja -C build should get you started, if your system has the needed dependencies installed.
