DeskGap

> I kind of wonder why it took this long for someone to try this approach. It just makes a whole lot more sense on the surface. Like other replies have mentioned, it's not a new idea DeskGap uses the native OS Webviews. https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/ Electrino (4 years old) was an experiment where they forked Electron and removed Chromium to replace it with the native OS Web views. https://github.com/pojala/electrino Quark is a fork of Electrino: https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark There's also a way of building desktop GUIs using Deno, which uses Deno Webview, which is a binding for the same webview library that Tauri uses. https://denotutorials.net/making-desktop-gui-applications-us... https://github.com/webview/webview

Couple of other alternatives https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap https://github.com/neutralinojs/neutralinojs Like many pointed out electron may be a beast but few important things like system tray, start on boot come inbuilt with electron.

There's https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap which seems little more mature?

Howdy, can you compare the system-side webview with https://github.com/zserge/webview? Specifically, what control do you use on windows, MSHTML or have you incorporated the recently-freed-from-UWP (I think) Edge API? EDIT: Appears the latter [0]. Great work. I wonder how this affects bundling...does this make it a UWP app? 0 - https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/blob/master/core/src/win...
