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

  • There are a bunch of “small subset of HTML” UI toolkits already. The first that comes to mind is Sciter: https://sciter.com/

    The issue here is re-use - Sciter is small and very fast, but won’t run an arbitrary existing web app that targets Chrome. Maybe you could argue for a middler-ground, add more HTML features to Sciter until it can run “most” things… but you’ll end up back to having the whole banana.

  • InfluxDB
