    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.

    There are better alternatives to Electron if you do need Node.js support. (Buntralino, for example.) Electron itself compares to Neutralino badly as Electrong is a bloatware with huge builds, when Neutralino's executable is just 2.5Mb — the rest is your app.

    Very similar to Neutralino.js but if default APIs don't suit you, you will need to write your own in Rust. Meanwhile Neutralino.js allows adding any extensions to your project.

    NW.js got buggier and buggier with time, and is bloatware as it drags coupled node.js and chrome browser with it. I would recommend avoiding it entirely. Neutraino.js is, instead, tiny as heck, and though it doesn't have all the native APIs node.js can offer, it still can do a lot (work with filesystem, clipboard, other processes, etc.)
