NativePHP: A framework for building desktop apps with PHP
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.

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
I've been on a blitz experimenting with pywebview (electron but for Python) and a ReactJS UI.

Release: NiceGUI 1.2.7 with ui.download, easier color definitions, "aggrid from pandas dataframe" and much more
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

Does anyone have experience using pyWebView? Just curious if there are any caveats or gotchas to it?

NiceGUI – easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework
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).

NiceGUI 1.2.0: Electron for Python
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.

Industrial Controller? Windows or Linux?
You might also want to look at AvaloniaUI[0] for a cross platform .NET GUI library. It is similar to WPF but much nicer to work with.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
Production user here. There's no money gotchas. They're above reproach. In fact, I've received considerable free support from their devs on GitHub Issues [1].
The Avalonia business model is based on selling XPF, which runs WPF (Windows-only) apps on other platforms. That's very interesting to big corps with existing codebases.

.NET on Linux: What a Contrast
Yes, but the portable GUI frameworks by Microsoft themselves are generally not very good, and they tend to be abandoned after a couple of years.
Avalonia is developed outside of the Microsoft corporate madness and seems to be slowly becoming the defacto cross-platform framework because it is expected to last a bit longer than a manager's attention span: https://avaloniaui.net/

Ask HN: Do you have a problem you'd pay to have taken away?
Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
It's a bit of a hit and miss as of today. CLI, back-end and natively compiled libraries (think dll/so/dylib or even .lib/.a - you can statically link NAOT binaries into other "unmanaged" code) work best, GUI - requires more work.
Avalonia[0] and MAUI[1] have known working templates with it, but YMMV.

One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
For desktop, Avalonia, hands down.
https://avaloniaui.net/
Open source, powered by Skia, backed by JetBrains, and quite battle-tested at this point for small to medium-sized apps. In theory perfectly capable for enterprise as well, since it's basically a spiritual successor to WPF, which has been an industry standard for about 15 years.
They're diving into mobile and WASM well, but that's more of a recent effort and I haven't tested that yet.
