  • neutralinojs

    Portable and lightweight cross-platform desktop application development framework

  • you can glean from it, and create your own version like I did, for example I created petal to use with neutralino js - alternative to electron and very light, a webview lib to build desktop apps with JS, because of the way I handle mounting and the like , I did not implement the diffing algorithm yet, but will for maximum performance, for now it works well, because you can create a VDOM in a promise in petal, as it does not mount automatically like react, the developer is responsible for mounting, in fact in petal you can prepare a VDOM minutes earlier and mount it whenever you feel like it,
