  • Eel

    A little Python library for making simple Electron-like HTML/JS GUI apps

  • Using something like [Eel](https://github.com/ChrisKnott/Eel). But it seems to me that this project is no longer fully maintained (https://github.com/ChrisKnott/Eel/issues/600).

  • pywebview

    Build GUI for your Python program with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

  • Using [PyWebView](https://pywebview.flowrl.com/) to transform the Python backend into a desktop app. I really don't know how different PyWebView is from Electron, to be honest.

  • 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.
