I'm using electron for https://www.monsterwriter.app/ https://www.monsterwriter.app/ and i'm looking for a lightweight alternative since a while. This seems to be a good fit. I guess when you can reduce the api calls to bindings (accessing filesystem, network, etc.) cross platform compatibility should not be a problem.

I would be curious if anybody onboarded an Tauri application into the Mac App Store and if it builds for M1?

  It cheerfully builds and runs on M1.

Have you tried Sciter?
- WolfOliver 5y ago
  no, but looks like it natively builds for m1 :)
  - c-smile 5y ago
    That's correct. Sciter supports ARM and M1 targets natively: Windows, MacOS and Linux. As also H/W rendering with backends: DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan(coming) and Metal (coming).
- WolfOliver 5y ago
  I do not really understand the lisence of this. In the repo it says its open source but on the website they ask for money?
  - jhgb 5y ago
    Sciter currently isn't FLOSS, but you're free to use its dynamically loaded binary distributions.
  - nisegami 5y ago
    As I understand, stuff like this is typically called "source available" rather than "open source".

    Sciter SDK (https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk) is OpenSource/BSD But Sciter Engine itself (https://sciter.com https://sciter.com) is not OS - its sources are available to customers only. I tried to make it Open Source ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/c-smile/open-source-sciter-engine https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/c-smile/open-source-sci... ) but not too much interest for that.
