Yeah. It's a one-man company that has great tech, but very little capacity to build an ecosystem around it.
A comparable ecosystem is QML in QT, but Sciter is an order of magnitude leaner and faster.
- rubymamis 2y agoHow exactly QML is not lean and fast? I’ve built and app that is both in QML and Qt[1][2]. [1] https://www.get-notes.com/ https://www.get-notes.com/ [2] https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor
- cyberax 2y agoThe _entire_ Sciter SDK is 8Mb, and it can go even lower. This includes a scripting language and an HTML/CSS renderer. It starts in milliseconds and can work over a raw framebuffer. My friends are using it for an industrial controller that can boot in half a second after a power outage. I'm not saying that QML is bad, it just is much more massive.
- rubymamis 2y agoA QML app can be compiled to C++ and reap the exact same benefits with the right configurations when compiling Qt from source.
