- CosmoMyzrailGorynych reviewed NW.js
When web development was young and simple and Electron didn't even exist, nw.js aka node-webkit was a novel cool framework, and there were rainbows and unicorns. Later, for some time, nw.js had become a love-hate relationship for me and I made several big apps with it. Now it's just hate — a buggy bloatware that breaks in a new way in every new release, preventing you to use regular web APIs and throwing native crashes. Avoid at all costs.
