Sciter TkinterSciter is recommended for developers who need to build GUI applications that are cross-platform and want to leverage their web development skills. It's especially useful for those looking to create lightweight applications without the overhead of more extensive frameworks like Electron. It is also suitable for developers interested in rapid prototyping and creating custom UI/UX solutions.

That's what Sciter does - https://sciter.com/ - it just gives you a lightweight HTML / CSS / Javascript "webview" engine. Like you pointed out, that shoudl be enough. But corporates want a "webview" that is an OS so that they can do everything with Javascript on it (hence why embedded Chrome with NodeJS is so popular). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
If I was to spend a trillion tokens on a barely working browser I would have started with the source code of Sciter [0] instead. I really like the premise of an electron alternative that compiles to a 5MB binary, with a custom data store based on DyBASE [1] built into the front end javascript so you can just persist any object you create. I was ready to build software on top of it but couldn't get the basic... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
There is also https://sciter.com/ that the author tried to find finance to make it opensource but couldn't find enough supporters. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
> I'm convinced that using an embedded browser engine to render app UI is the future. Sciter exists: https://sciter.com/ And it indeed is great for UI. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I think Sciter is probably the better comparison: https://sciter.com/ It is a ground-up implementation of HTML and CSS rendering. IIRC it used to have its own programming language but now uses JS. Iโve long been interested in this kind of thing but havenโt actually played with Sciter in depth. Used to be that the licensing was a concern but looking at the site now it seems the terms have changed to be much more... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Python has sqlite3[0], curses (tui) [1], and tkinter[2] in the stdlib. [0] https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library/curses.html [2] https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
The other popular option for cross-platform UI apps was Tcl/Tk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tk_(software) ...which even leaked into other language ecosystems like Python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
ChatGPT understood the hardware and it's limitations, the touchscreen monitor and along with my requirements, we found and used Tkinter which runs on Python. The benefits were it was lightweight, no web stack, runs fast, no browser, no network dependency and customization options. What's really cool is I wanted to have a visual of this idea and requested ChatGPT to generate an image base on my idea and it gave me... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
A TCP socket-based chat application allows multiple clients to communicate with a central server in real time. This tutorial walks through building a multi-client chat application using Pythonโs socket and threading modules for backend communication and Tkinter for a graphical user interface (GUI). This is a great project to learn about networking, concurrency, and GUI development. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
