   A very lightweight alternative to electronJS or NWJS

   I have previously created small desktop apps in electron and NW. These were functionally strong, but extremely large and had long load times. With neutralino JS I was able to create the same tools with less effort (both in creation and compilation). I was able to reduce the size of the tools from >300 MB to under 3 MB. Neutralino JS is clearly the better choice for me.

   🏁 Competitors: Electron, NW.js

   👍 Pros:    Very lightweight|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Documentation could be stronger|Limited functionality, at the moment

• Show HN: Pywebview 5

  We tried using pywebview for a cross-platform desktop app when it was version 3.x and some of the features were limited, especially when it came to systray interactions. Will have to try it out again. In the end, for that specific project, we ended up settling on NeutralinoJS. Wails was another big contender but due to limited GoLang resources in-house, we decided not to use it. Reference: https://neutralino.js.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

  There's always https://neutralino.js.org/ which uses native WebView components to keep itself rather smaller than Electron. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Suggestions for a framework to build a personal desktop or browser app

  I've been drawn to NeutralinoJS as it looks like it will do what I want, but I'm willing to hear some other recommendations and maybe tutorials on how to do the objectively simple things I've outlined above. Source: 10 months ago

• Is it possible to create a twine game that does not use a browser?

  Yes. You need a wrapper for the game though. Something like https://neutralino.js.org/ should be enough. Source: about 1 year ago
