Hi I'm [redacted], I author lcef, LuaJIT FFI bindings for Chromium Embedded Framework at https://github.com/Planimeter/lcef. I also work on Planimeter's Grid Engine, the largest 2D Lua game engine on GitHub. So, I'm fully invested in both exposing libraries to languages like Lua, and directly integrating those offerings with software.
So, while people are in here talking about Electron, which is most likely not your target audience and might be confused as a result, I am your target audience. I am looking for ways to move away from my engine's imperative UI system and to migrate to web-based UIs in an OpenGL setting, and I have been for years.
Adam, this looks great, and I've been waiting to see new solutions like this in the game development space for quite some time now. However, the only truly viable solution at the moment in my opinio

Can you explain how Ultralight is fundamentally different than projects like Awesomium and libRocket? It seems very similar to your previous work and not enough of a differentiator for someone like myself. Could you tell me why I wouldn't use EAWebKit instead of this?
I spent years as a Source Engine developer and avoided both projects because of their proprietary nature, and because of lack of updates to their underlying web browser libraries.
I fear this is a repeat of Awesomium, with a similar proprietary nature, and operating in a space where we will not see frequent updates to the underlying web libraries, regardless of using a subset of web technologies that UI developers would care about.
