  Flutter is probably the best candidate. It's a shame Google is giving priority to Flutter for Web instead of desktop though. As discussed previously here on HN, Flutter for Web will always result in bloated web apps as they are reimplementing everything through canvas (eg: text editing, layouts, styling, etc).

    Quick note here: we're investing in both pretty heavily. Google has a fair amount of pedigree on the web, so it's highly attractive to us to have web support, but we're paying close attention to the attention that desktop is receiving and are accordingly putting resources on it. More news tomorrow, but see, for example: https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/09/21/google-flutter-uwp-apps-for-windows-10/ https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/09/21/google-flutter-uwp-... (Disclosure: if it's not obvious, I'm on the Flutter team.)

      Good to know you're paying attention. Hopefully Flutter will be able to replace tons of Electron apps.
