A real contender to Electron is going to have to ship a runtime or libraries that support the DOM and all of the APIs a browser like Chrome already ships along with a Javascript engine.
Maybe if we could break those all up into cross-platform shared libraries it could be done.
- Jtsummers 9y agoIt only has to support the DOM and web technologies if we decide it needs to be compatible with web technologies. That's not actually needed for a cross-platform toolkit like this. Regarding your link, it's for JavaScript -> Android Native. I found another project that was an Electron-compatible effort on top of Gecko. I haven't done much other searching for things based on the name, honestly Positron just popped into my head while reading the original article so I used it here.
- agentultra 9y agoI think in order to compete with Electron and the developers who use it you will need to support the web technologies and APIs it has.
