A lot of the bloat complaints about Electron are addressed well in Sciter (https://sciter.com/ https://sciter.com/) although, Sciter has its own set of limitations. I have found Sciter a great option for many use cases. (I'm not affiliated with Sciter in any way).
- adev_ 7y agoSciter and Ultralight are the way to go on paper. They address many of the issues of Electron and it does it in a very portable way. Instead of embedding the world in a giant toolkit, they give to you what you want as a library, easy to interface with native code. However they are proprietary, and this is a no go for me and many. There is no way I bind my software stack to an arbitrary unstable compiler ABI and its platforms. Nor I will bet on a toolkit that can disappear tomorrow if its only maintainer disappears or get hit by a bus. We need something like these projects, but OSS and still I would be happy to pay for that.
- ethanpil 7y agoOhh, never heard of Ultralight. Will check it out, thanks! I agree that licensing makes these products an issue for some, but they both seem to offer a very flexible free use option...
