  • electron

    Discontinued :electron: Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS [Moved to: https://github.com/electron/electron] (by atom)

    • I'm trying to wrap my head around how Electron (formerly Atom Shell) works.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

    • I guess I could run a full on web server (basically, some Node.js HTTP Middleware like Express), but that creates a network-reachable server (which might also trip up firewalls) - one of the reasons I want to make a desktop app is precisely to avoid running a real server. Basically like the MVP/MVVM pattern in a "normal" desktop app.
