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.
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 / 4 months ago
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
Doing some research about Photino, I also found Tauri and Neutralinojs. Source: about 1 year ago
Yes. You need a wrapper for the game though. Something like https://neutralino.js.org/ should be enough. Source: about 1 year ago

And https://neutralino.js.org/ Their exciting part is > You can extend Neutralinojs with any programming language (via extensions IPC) and use Neutralinojs as a part of any source file (via child processes IPC). still: > Neutralinojs doesn't bundle Chromium and uses the existing web browser library in the operating system (Eg: gtk-webkit2 on Linux).

This is very nice!, Now I'm wondering if there is enough here to communicate with https://neutralino.js.org/ which can do more heavy lifting. Source: over 1 year ago
You can glean from it, and create your own version like I did, for example I created petal to use with neutralino js - alternative to electron and very light, a webview lib to build desktop apps with JS, because of the way I handle mounting and the like , I did not implement the diffing algorithm yet, but will for maximum performance, for now it works well, because you can create a VDOM in a promise in petal, as... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
Electron is 'heavy', but this is basically exactly what it was designed for. Electron has alternatives like Neutralinojs, and NWjs. Alternatively, there is Flutter - it's not exactly what you're asking for, but it is very web like, and would be a very strong candidate for this use case. Pick your poison really.

The other lightweight alternative to Electron is Neutralino.js: https://neutralino.js.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Electron bundles both Chromium and Node.js in with it which causes massively unnecessary bundle sizes and adds hundreds of dependencies. This is unnecessary when plenty of alternatives such as Neutralino seem to manage to get past this problem. Not to mention the difference in performance. Source: almost 2 years ago

You might wanna look into either Neutralinojs or tauri, both platform agnostic web-based gui frameworks. I use Tauri right now because I can integrate it with rust easily but I used neutralino in the past, it's slightly easier to get started with imo. Both are very light-weight fast options though, and both are really easily extensible with a static web server (if you wanna do it through python, fastapi would be... Source: about 2 years ago
Sure, but Neutralino[1] already does this, it's just not Written in Rust™ [1] https://neutralino.js.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Javascript games are fine and, for all intents and purposes, are the most cross platform you can get. I do suspect that you'd have an easier time using something like Cocos or Phaser instead of React Native. I would also recommend you to try packing it with either Neutralino or Tauri instead of React Native, doesn't make much sense to bundle the whole browser with the game, imo. Source: over 2 years ago
There are some things like this - https://neutralino.js.org/ - that run in a native web view, so you could create interactive documents, but my experience of them is that they are not as simple as they should be. So you will probably get stuck. Source: over 2 years ago
Oh yes. Every ten minutes I had been finding myself wanting to switch entirely to Electron and be done in a fraction of the time with superior results. The awful size of any Electron app is one of the reasons I resisted the call, but I just found out that there are lighter alternatives, for instance https://neutralino.js.org/. Time to rethink it all. Thank you for the shake up! Source: over 2 years ago
So Neutralino or Neutralinojs is a better way of creating desktop applications with web technologies. Neutralionjs was created because Electron a popular desktop application tool is hated by developers for being memory hungry. So Neutralionjs solves this problem by being lightweight and easier to develop. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
