Electron Alternatives

Electron is described as 'If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app. Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application' and is a very popular app in the development category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Electron for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Self-Hosted apps. The best Electron alternative is Qt, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Electron are Tauri, Flutter, NW.js and NeutralinoJS.
