Hello,The way I enjoy the most building UIs is with web technologies. However, not allways I want to deliver a web app, sometimes I want to create a desktop app.I have the node and frontend skills and knowledge to build such apps, but I don't have any good way of distributing them. Before the chrome apps were a good way, but those days are gone.Nowadays, if you want to create a desktop app using web technologies you have to use technologies like electron, which are heavy, bloated and memmory hungry.Most of my apps are a thin nodejs backend with a helper html page acting as a helper. This could be easily distributed if someone has npm installed, but it lacks some OS integration: context menu, you don't have your own window but use a browser tab instead and so on.Microsoft seems to achieved great success with their .NET platform, and I was curios to know why nobody tried the same with node or at least with another VM but also using JS. People seems to be ok about ther simple todo application eating up 500mb of ram and 5% of CPU.Regards
