Ask HN: Why aren't there any real alternatives to Electron?
&gt; Is &quot;just stick Chromium into all your apps&quot; seriously the best we can do as an industry?<p>Yes. What other rendering engine are you going to use? If your answer is anything but  a web browser rendering engine, then consider that any serious UI toolkit in 2022 is certainly going to need a WebView UI component: so if you want the WebView UI component to be consistent across platforms (you want this), then you will have to bundle a web rendering engine <i>anyway</i>. In that case, why not just use the web rendering engine as your main rendering engine?<p>There’s nothing wrong with Electron as a concept. The issue is with either: blink being under optimized for this use case, or bad Electron apps.
