Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

    Honest question, when solutions like https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri exist out there that promise smaller build sizes and similar developer experiences, are folks still using Electron to build new apps?

  • flet

    Flet enables developers to easily build realtime web, mobile and desktop apps in Python. No frontend experience required.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sciter

    Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development

    Chrome engine is build for browsing the web multiple windows multiple tabs etc.

    If you drive with a empty truck with trailer it uses more oil than a car.

    Chrome is not designed for this. There are other engines like https://sciter.com that are work for single apps, but probably scale bad if they are misused as a browser.

  • Flutter

    Flutter makes it easy and fast to build beautiful apps for mobile and beyond

    https://flutter.dev/ does have an impressive list of apps, though I'm unaware any existing long-standing popular apps are rewritten in Flutter, it's more about 'if you want to write a cross platform apps today, which framework you will pick'

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
