Same demo in VanilaJS and Sciter.JS : https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk (see screenshots there).
Binary is ~5MB, and that is HTML/CSS + QuickJS + NodeJS runtime.
Versus 50MB+ of NodeGUI that is Node.JS + QT.
And SvelteJS works in Sciter.JS out of the box too.
- anilgulecha 6y agoHi c-smile - i always get confused about the FOSS status of sciter related projects. It's a very promising platform - specially being CSS/HTML/JS at a low resource footprint. I recall a crowd-sourcing campaign to make this toolset fully open - did that succeed? What's the current state? For me a signal to use sciter would be it's inclusion into the debian/ubuntu repository.
- esperent 6y agoThe license looks ok: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/LICENSE https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/blob/main/LICENSE The only unusual limitation is that you're not allowed to say "built with Sciter" without getting permission from the maintenaners. You can still use it for commercial projects though.
- anilgulecha 6y agoThat's just the sdk shim. The underlying engine looks to be closed. (My question was unrelated to commercial use - that's only one potential benefit of FOSS.)
