[AskJS] Are there any Electron alternatives that uses less recourses?
In fact, there's a version with a React wrapper, pretty much similar to React Native

Windows App
If you are strictly looking to make a desktop app, I would suggest looking at https://react.nodegui.org/ it is really easy to use and develop.

Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?
I have to use Discord and Element on a regular basis (which both use Electron). They both use an unreasonable amount of RAM, and I feel this even more as my laptop is quite old and has 4GB of RAM.
I keep looking for alternatives to Electron, which wouldn't require such heavy resources to run, but my searches always seem to come up short. There are a number of solutions that are either dead or are not ready for production yet, such as React NodeGUI[0], Proton Native[1] or react-native-desktop-qt[2].
There's react-native-windows, but I'm not running Windows, and even if that did gain Linux compatibility it seems that they're quite focused on Microsoft-owned platforms.
Is "just stick Chromium into all your apps" seriously the best we can do as an industry? It's resource-inefficient to high heaven, not to mention that it's slow and doesn't integrate with the native platform styles at all. As a JavaScript developer, I'm quite surprised this is the best there is for cross-platform JavaScript development.

Announcing Svelte NodeGUI, a lightweight Electron alternative with native UI, based on Node.js!
On the React and Vue github repos the README contains this disclaimer:
-
NodeGUI React Component by Component
I was going to name this piece by piece or the building blocks of, but I want that sweet, sweet SEO. In my last post I kind of brushed on NodeGUI and one of the negatives I listed was it was a bit light on examples so I since decided to remedy that by contributing to the project here and here thus far. I also got involved with the Vue version of NodeGUI, itβs not as polished or production ready as the react one yet but I hope to help with that.

GameScripter.JS β write games in JS, compile to tiny executable
How tiny is the output? What is the API? (I couldn't find any documentation. I thought maybe it's in the Help menu in the app itself but all I found was this https://i.imgur.com/6puOMIe.png - On that note, what level of JS is supported? As far as I can tell it uses this https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk which is based on Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS ) Is there sound?

Zig Build System Internals
Having normal procedural language for build automation is of course useful. That's for those 10% of cases when "standard" build DSL (make,CMake,etc.) simply do not have facilities.
But the rest of 90% tasks should have compact (easily readable) definitions.
I personally found that Premake5 has quite good balance for these tasks.
Premake files are plain .lua files and due to Lua syntax they are easily readable. And if needed you can call from them procedures defined in again Lua.
So typical project (multiplatform) definition looks pretty readable, for example one project from Sciter SDK:

Tauri β Electron alternative written in Rust
Note Tauri is full fledged Client/Server with WebView (client) is running in separate process with RPC between UI process and Rust code (Server).
For the comparison:
Standalone Sciter (scapp.exe, https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/bin) takes ~8 MB of RAM (with minimal Cairo and GDI backends).
That's 20 times less than even Tauri.
WebView based solutions are not suitable for applets - small portable desktop applications.

It does support , with limited support but still.

Sciter also supports immediate mode painting on any element (like in DearIMGUI):
element.paintBackground = function(gfx) {
