Nice! I remember using a tool called Appcelerator Titanium about 15 years ago. It was like a precursor to Electron, and you could use various languages to build desktop and mobile apps - including PHP. It blew my mind at the time that this was possible. https://benramsey.com/blog/2009/10/building-titanium-with-php/ https://benramsey.com/blog/2009/10/building-titanium-with-ph... Glad to see the PHP desktop app dream has been kept alive :)

Shame that project went the way that it did. A bit ahead of its time if you ask me. There were a lot of controls that phones just didn't support well enough which complicated the project. It was more of a Cordova or Haxe than an Electron though. Unbelievably, Haxe is still actively maintained. I keep saying I'll get into it, but I never do.

  Thanks for sharing. Can you help me understand the difference between Cordova/Haxe and Electron? I mostly do web dev.
