• Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?

  There are great alternatives. I used Python and Qt to create my file manager [1]. It's a tool that needs to start quickly so Electron was not an option [2]. I open sourced my build system for creating cross-platform desktop apps with it in minutes at https://build-system.fman.io/. 1: https://fman.io 2: https://fman.io/blog/picking-technologies-for-a-desktop-app-in-2016/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Tk also works reasonably well if you don't need the features and native integration that Qt offers (and I'm pretty sure FBS can handle Tkinter apps just fine). The .NET ecosystem is another solid choice for cross-platform desktop app development (and nowadays even mobile,... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  If you have access to Python 3.5 or 3.6, you can use my open source library https://build-system.fman.io to create a Python / Qt app with an installer for all the OSs in minutes. Python 3.7-3.9 is also supported, but only available commercially. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
