Rapidly iterate and build Bevy UI's with existing web-based technologies

Overview:

The Bevy Webview plugin is an innovative tool designed to facilitate the rapid development of user interfaces within the Bevy game engine using web-based technologies. While it's still in the early stages of development and currently only available for Linux, this plugin has the potential to significantly streamline UI creation by leveraging native webview functionalities. Its promise lies in the integration of existing web technologies, making it a compelling addition for developers looking to enhance their projects.

As it stands, the plugin has notable limitations, including issues with keyboard inputs and mouse interaction. However, with feedback and contributions from the community, particularly around platforms like Windows and Mac, it shows promise for future expansion. The Bevy Webview aims to create a more versatile environment for developers, inviting use and contributions as it matures.
