awesome-electron-alternatives VS pywebview

Was gonna say, not worth using Electron anymore when there are better alternatives out there.

Maybe it’s time to ditch electron? I’ve heard good things about tauri but unfortunately never used it. There’s a list with electron alternatives on GH.

I cannot vouch for any of these, but that particular space (electron-likes) is already pretty crowded: https://github.com/sudhakar3697/electron-alternatives

Might also be interesting to look into Electron alternatives which often have a much smaller footprint and better performance: https://github.com/sudhakar3697/electron-alternatives

You can make them less resource-intensive, but that takes intense amounts of optimization, I.e look what they do with VS Code. That said, there are more lightweight alternatives to electron

Bunch of options here https://github.com/sudhakar3697/electron-alternatives

In case anyone else is unfamiliar:

> pywebview uses native GUI for creating a web component window: WinForms on Windows, Cocoa on macOS, QT or GTK on Linux and Kivy for Android.

- [swallow-pywebview](https://github.com/rangwea/swallow-pywebview)： Base on [pywebview](https://pywebview.flowrl.com/) using Python，the frontend base on [alpinejs](https://alpinejs.dev/) and [tailwindcss](https://tailwindcss.com/)。

Somehow related, I've been using pywebview for some internal tools: https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview

Probably not as full-featured as Electronjs, but since we have a bunch of python scripts to convert to desktop apps, it's very useful.

I've been on a blitz experimenting with pywebview (electron but for Python) and a ReactJS UI.

The native mode uses pywebview under the hood which has libs for running on several platforms. Pyinstaller will pull these dependencies in. If you want more info on which platforms are supported by pywebview, check this directory: https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/tree/master/webview/lib

For reference to anyone not familiar - https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview

import webview window = webview.create_window('Woah dude!', 'https://pywebview.flowrl.com') webview.start()

pywebview (https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview) is an excellent suggestion and is already being used in NiceGUI to create a native desktop window with "native=True" option (see http://127.0.0.1:8080/documentation#ui_run).

Thanks for sharing. The issue is tracked at https://github.com/zauberzeug/nicegui/issues/576. But it looks like something which originates from the pywebview lib which is used to provide the native mode.
