Hi Everyone Electron and nw.js are alternate takes on marrying the Node.js runtime with the Chromium browser, and make it possible to create native apps that integrate web browser functionality.
node-gui is subtly different: it combines the Node.js runtime with the Qt cross platform GUI framework: https://www.qt.io/ <https://www.qt.io/>, and it doesn’t integrate a web browser. The promise of node-gui is that it can be much lighter weight than Electron or nw.js (browsers are huge these days), and be a bit closer to the metal in that Qt is a fairly low level API. If one were to write a TiddlyDesktop-like thing in node-gui it therefore wouldn’t be able to integrate the browser view, but instead would rely on an external browser.
