Hi guys, I wrote a post on how to get a web app to communicate with a native app on the user’s local machine.

Useful info! Thx. Regretfully chrome only though. In the past I needed to access receipt printers over serial ports etc which i solved using a small tray app that websocketted to the webserver backend and had web clients interact with the tray app through the backend “proxy”
This is a quite interesting alternative! Would be even more interesting if something like this could be standardized in some way between all browsers.
Thanks for sharing!
