Electron.js is OBSOLETE

Neutralino is a lightweight JS framework for creating cross-platform native desktop applications. It works in a way not unlike electron, except it uses your OS's HTML framework instead of Chromium, which is bloat.
There's a face reveal in this one.

Neutralino docs:

"Really the only disadvantage is you cant use nodejs"

This guy:"The only disadvantage you cannot use nodejs"
Me: "peace... am out"

It maybe better performing, but without enough tutorials and other resources its slower to implement. I would also like to see some speed comparisons to see if the learning curve is worth it

Am I the only one who heard the loudest brake screeching sound when he said "you can't use node.js"?

[SaHaRaSquad]

Why can't all technologies have this kind of concise overview instead of "ShitJS Tutorial 01/23: Create a chat app in minutes, explained over the course of two hours"

Neutralino is full of bugs,
I tried it on more than one system, I always get errors after some modification of the main HTML file.
It seems better to use other library.

Yes, Electron is big, but still good and stable and it do what is supposed to do.

If I imagined a teenage nerdy hacker, this is how he'd look like. Thanks for the fast paced video, subbed! :)

NEUTRALINO:
Lacks many OS level features like being able to make a tray icon, or custom window chrome
Very limited access to file system, hardware, and OS level features through a tiny API
Your UI could run any browser the end user has, meaning that your app must be designed in a cross-browser friendly manner
Documentation is pretty light
Documentation does some pretty misleading cherry picking of comparing itself against NW.js and Electron

so obsolete that Discord was built on Electron and is one of the biggest communication apps in the world.

I'd be very careful with frameworks that don't provide access to NodeJS, I used Tauri and had to eventually port the whole codebase into Electron because Tauri didn't have a low level api that I was looking for, which NodeJS did. I'm never trusting a framework that doesn't have NodeJS personally. It's incredibly annoying to deal with missing low level api's.

I just got done trying (and failing) to run a newly installed node module in an electron app. Tons of conflicting information online about how to get them running. Some say use the mjs extension, others say don’t. Some say change type to module, others say don’t. Screw node. If I need to make a lightweight app, I’ll give Neut. a try, otherwise I’ll just stick to a compiled language.

It’s amazing how difficult it is for a fairly new dev to make sense of the mess that is the world of JavaScript.

This is the first guide I have seen of yours and I gotta say, I am really impressed. You didn't go so in-depth that you are holding peoples' hands, you encouraged people to seek out and read the official documentation (learning to read official docs is REALLY important!) and yet you also managed to cram in enough information that this video was 100% worthwhile to watch! I love the style. Keep it up! :)

As i can see neutrolino is still a baby we should wait for it to grow. Electron has good community and les bugs netrolino still has so many bugs

[deeperealms]

I would be curious if vendor prefixes become mandatory when using the OS HTML modules... I can definitely see using Chromium across the board would lead to more consistent behavior across systems

[jinx]

Wait there were like 3 seconds saying unable to use node and that feels like kinda a big deal lol

Which fridges does this library support? Also does it work with coolers, or do you have to have a fridge?

[Tendou-Gaming]

Can you make a Neutralino + Reactjs video?

[tobiastejeda]

This is why I keep on giving on coding. Just when you think you have found something a video like this comes up, now I'm not sure if I should continue to learn it...

Came to hate on click bait title. Stayed for the speed run metal infused "tutorial". Was not disappointed.
