Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is there a browser addon which locally archives every website I visit?
Here. An archivist browser controller that caches everything you browse, a library server with full text search to serve your archive.
- Show HN: Irchiver, your full-resolution personal web archive
-
Ask HN: Full text search engine in JavaScript for English and and Chinese?
Following your "hilarious" and disrespectful answer here https://github.com/i5ik/22120/issues/63#issuecomment-7275272..., I would prefer that you remove any reference to SingleFile in the description of your project. I could not open an issue because you blocked me. And please don't accuse people without proof.
- 22120: self-host the Internet with an Offline Archive. Similar to ArchiveBox, SingleFile and WebMemex. Works well with WorldBrain/Memex to give you full-text search. Why not WARC? Uses Chrome DevTools protocol to intercept all requests, and caches responses against a key of (method, URL)
-
Request: Proxy caching all visited websites text in DB, making history searchable
https://github.com/i5ik/22120 is a tool that archives as you browse that you can then view offline later
- Is the there a way I can cache videos(reddit.4chan) I watch in browser (Linux)?

So you want to write a GUI framework
My solution to this (it's been done before), is to use the existing browser engine (not the system webview) installed. So far I only utilize Chrome, but as the way I connect to it is over the Chrome DevTools protocol which is somewhat fluent with the Remote Debugging Protocol[0] that Firefox is doing, this is a reasonable approach.
So far my "tool" to do this is simply a template repository with some conveniences, providing in essence a skeleton for these types of apps. I hope to flesh this out a little more, and expose a much richer API, as well as convert some of my existing popular apps (like 22120[1]) to the "framework".
The benefit of this is Graderjs has a built in 'app builder' that can create a cross-platform binary (excluding or ignoring the necessity (on MacOS) and near-necessity (on Windows) to sign your executable somehow, that lets you display your UI in JS/HTML/CSS using the already installed browser engine, as well as run code in NodeJS and using the rich APIs[2] of the browser engine itself. I'm really happy with this project and think that, even tho it's small now, it will in time become my most popular and powerful one: even bigger than my remote browser and popular web archiver.
Just give it time! :)

Why Bloat Is Still Software's Biggest Vulnerability
You can create the webview using each platforms native GUI toolkit and setup JS communication yourself OR you can use a lightweight library that does it for [1] (search its README for language "bindings").

Ask HN: Do we still need Electron?
Each platform has it's own webview control available as a shared library installed with the OS.
MacOS has WKWebKit based on WebKit.
Windows has WebView2 based on Edge/Chromium.
Linux has webkit2gtk based on WebKit.
Tools like Tauri use a simple cross-platform single-header abstraction called webview.h[1].
Electron no longer allows Node.js to be called from renderer processes, all communication with Node.js is done via IPC.
In this case, why do we still need Electron? Why does it have to be tied to V8/Node.js?
The fact that Chromium Embedded Framework exists and is third-party makes me think that Chromium wasn't designed for being embedded, and Electron is filling that gap.
This is elucidated here further here https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit2:
> it's difficult to reuse their work...if another WebKit-based application or another port wanted to do multiprocess based on Chromium WebKit, it would be necessary to reinvent or cut & paste a great deal of code.
It makes me think that perhaps WebKit was the better choice for embedding. The fact that Node used V8 made Chromium the choice, and that Node being called from the renderer was the original way of working. Maybe because WebKit didn't have a build for Windows was an issue too...
But now that we have Bun, perhaps it's time that WebKit becomes that browser target of choice for desktop apps on macOS.
Unless WebView2 for macOS arrives, which would have a more sane cross-platform story. WebView2 has a very large feature-set though which make take a while to implement for macOS.

Nui C++ User Interface Library
Nui could base on this in theory. Nui uses https://github.com/webview/webview under the hood, which provides browser windows for linux, windows or mac. Nui adds some cmake to make the "in-browser" and "main-process" part appear seemless, as well adding a DSEL for the "in-browser" view part.

Neutralinojs – Build lightweight cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript
Golang can compile to windows statically, and on Windows those bindings are using the MSWebView2 API (aka Microsoft Edge webview).
I know that you can also compile the webview.cc into a dll specifically, and link against that. But I'd never done with Visual C++ because I am cross-compiling from Linux to Windows.
The README of the webview/webview project refers to the WebView2 SDK on NuGet, however [1]

The Quest for the Ultimate GUI Framework
The author shrugs off web tech (maybe because of electron bloat?) but you can avoid the bloat by using each platforms native web browser control. There are even cross-platform libraries that make creating the native control and cross-communication simple. These applications would be architecturally similar to Win32 apps using and communicating with a XAML Island, but the advantage of web tech is it's an open standard and WPF/WinUI is not.

(Hayami.app) A tile-based mini browser. You can pin webpages and files on a screen together. Not for deep reading but for having a quick look at the latest information at any time.
For example, you could use a native webview (Edge WebView2 for Windows and WebKit for MacOS/Linux), which uses much less RAM than Electron.
