   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

• Can I create Windows Form with my Mac M1?

  Sorry but that’s one of the things it’s can’t do. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/. If you scroll to the bottom that page they compare vs for Mac with the windows version so you can see how they compare. Source: 10 months ago

• Error message in terminal

  Your code looks right I guess (been a long time since I've done C lol) so probably this means something in the build chain is broken. If this is "Visual Studio for Mac" then I think you're out of luck, as far as I can tell VS does not support C/C++ on Mac according to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/ (VS supports C via its C++ compiler, MSVC, which is not ported to Mac). If you're in VSCode you should be... Source: 11 months ago

• VSCode .Net Problem

  I'm not a Mac user, but Visual Studio is available for Mac - if it's anything like its Windows counterpart then it should be a lot more straightforward than trying to set up VSCode. Source: 12 months ago

• 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

• This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond

  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

• Desktop UI with F# web frameworks?

  Doing some research about Photino, I also found Tauri and Neutralinojs. Source: about 1 year 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
