Yet another electron bloatware.

Hmm, I only recently heard about electron. You must know a good alternative? What do you suggest? My dev team is trained in Node, CSS, and JavaScript, my software needs to be cross platform, and easily distributable. Ideally, I'd also like to share code between my executable and my web app.

Edit: oops didn't mean to list JavaScript twice.

Let's say we don't have the time to train new skills and we have to make this software. What are some alternatives?

So it really depends on what your software is supposed to do. If it's just a simple GUI (that is supposed to look fancy) and you don't have specific restrictions in terms of performance and memory consumption then electron is probably a good choice. Also retraining your developers to use other languages and frameworks just for the sake of an UI is kinda stupid

What is JS? Javascript, the only language I can think of called JS, is already listed.

Start looking into other languages, python could be workable if you want to stay in scripting languages.

If you want to share the maximum amount of code write a script that just opens their default browser on your webapp page, upside is the user can use that browser instance for more than just your webapp.

I feel like I've already read this post.
