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

  • flet

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

  • Here you are: https://flet.dev - Electron alternative with Flutter-powered UI. We decided to focus on Python first to polish the idea, but Go and C# support are coming!

  • webview

    Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).

  • It's just called webview/webview[0]. The fact is a little obscured now because it's been used from so many other languages, but Go/C/C++ were the original targets.
