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.

- Very obvious way to develop a Desktop/GUI application like a web app?

[Discussion] Status of RN for macOS/windows?
Seems we have https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos , but seems it is not compatible with 'normal react native' (as it is only for desktop + tablet). Thus I'm not sure if it'd be possible to create a single codebase that compiles both for iOS and Mac.

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
Wouldn't a better solution to be use something like https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos ?

I made a starter React Native app that compile to iOS, Android, Web and Desktop apps in one codebase :)

Use any web browser as GUI, with Zig in the back end and HTML5 in the front end
This is very polished and cool looking. Inspiring. I find this project's level of polish very inspiring.
It's lovely to see someone has captured this idea and expressed it in the right way to make it interesting to many people. I really hope this mode of desktop apps can take off, at least to the level where the community has something to explore for a while to see if it works. I made something like this for Chrome browsers a while ago, nodejs backends, vanilla front-ends, built-in packaging using pkg. It's just a nice approach: https://github.com/dosyago/graderjs
And I made a demo using the venerable MS Paint clone JS Paint^0. The dev experience was great, I literally just dropped in the front-end code to the right folder, compiled it and wham, "desktop JS paint" on 3 platforms, haha.
Using the ubiquitous local browser as the rendering / API engine for desktop just seems smart. And it's technically interesting, because you get to think in terms of how can you step back from the browser, the platform, the front-end and the back-end and come up with a general API that addresses all of it, which is kinda cool.

Ask HN: What is your preferred light weight stack for personal projects?
Client / Server Web App: Node.JS, Bang.html[0], the filesystem
Native downloadable executable desktop GUI application: Node.JS, GraderJS
CLI app: ??? Don't know yet, GraderJS can work but it's focused around GUI
Mobile app: ??? Don't know yet
Embedded: ??? Don't know yet
Graphics: Processing (but surely there are much better options nowadays)
AI: ??? Don't know yet

Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?
I'm working on an alternative. It's a slightly different take, but provides similar functionality of Node.js plus front end code in a packaged binary. Instead of using a weird custom fork of chrome and downloading that for every different binary we just use the system Chrome browser (or install it once for all apps). Eventually we can probably expand to use other Chrome browsers or even other web driver supported browsers which Firefox seems to be building that support out. I just like the idea of using something that's already on the system.
Take a look at the wonderful GraderJS, heh :)

Jspaint.exe: JavaScript Paint –~ as a cross-platform native desktop app
For those who didn't reach the end of the README.md, it seems to use an electron-alternative called grader, from the same author:
https://github.com/i5ik/graderjs
It runs server and downloads Chrome (if not available already) and starts it in app mode.

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
It is a good idea but it is not a new idea
the interesting history of these sorts of frameworks is that Google actually created a framework that did this and stopped development on it. the code is still on GitHub. And there's a bunch of other frameworks that use a variety of different languages not just rust as the application language that also have this idea of not bundling chromium but instead using the system webview for rendering HTML and JavaScript.
You can find a bunch of different approaches in lists like "alternatives to electron." There's some on GitHub.
I took a slightly different approach where instead of using the system web view which I thought you know is going to be inconsistent across systems and it's not going to support the latest HTML JavaScript and security features I used the assumption that the user already has chrome installed which works in a high number of cases or can download and install it if that's not the case. predictably I suppose some people express to satisfaction that it was not using Firefox. using Firefox becomes more possible and more likely I suppose as firefox's support for the dev tools protocol achieves parity with chrome support for that.
