#nodegui — Public Fediverse posts

#NodeGui is the #JavaScript API for the venerable #Qt #desktop #UI framework. As the name suggests, it allows one to implement a #Node-based desktop application with a Qt-based native UI, shunting the slow, tortuous, and bloated approach taken by Electron, Cordova, and other older, browser-based approaches.

And whereas writing a Qt application in C++ is an excruciating, exasperating chore, creating a NodeGui application in JavaScript is a pleasant task, especially because one does not have to cope with the usual web API excesses and can access the local desktop resources directly via Node API.

All small businesses currently using React, Angular, and other heavy, web UI frameworks to implement internal-use business applications should convert to NodeGui, as soon as maybe.

@Kilian Imagine how much data would be saved if devs weren't using #Electron at all, but the built-in web engine like #Tauri, #DeskGap, #NodeGUI or #Neutralinojs does instead.
