So true. The only problem there is no really good cros-platform GUI framework so far. If only there was something like WPF (and in no way inferior to the original) easily and naturally usable with a good selection of programming languages on all the major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, Ios) I doubt many people would use Electron. The whole thing about browser-based apps is they run everywhere seamlessly while looking eye-candy, being easy to discover, one-click to run and written in a language with a steep learning curve and that all is for free in whatever a case (while e.g. Qt requires an expensive license if you want to make a non-free app).
- jcelerier 8y agoQt is LGPL, you don't need a license to maje a proprietary app with it (chromium and thus electron are under LGPL too)
- qwerty456127 8y agoGood. I've read at least PyQT required a license. Qt Design Studio (which could be a "killer feature" to attract people to the platform) certainly does and even for a free project acquiring a free license for it is either hard or impossible.
- pseudalopex 8y agoPyQt is GPL/commercial. Qt for Python is LGPL.
