Isn't that called a browser and already exists? How is this one different?
- cromulent 6y agoMy understanding: It's common to use Electron to build cross-platform desktop apps, but that basically ships a browser and a web server inside every app, so it takes a lot of resources. This is a lightweight alternative.
- unnouinceput 6y agoIf I am to locally run some HTML + CSS + Javascript app, isn't it better to just give my clients exactly some HTML + CSS + Javascript files and let them use their preferred browser to use it? As for Electron, each time I see those types of applications, they are uninstalled faster then light. One reason why I stopped used Skype in 2014, they made it Electron app. Never looked back.
