Most browsers have an option to not show all the features (I know Firefox in particular does). App, but it could well be possible to create a background service install in Node.js and a link to a "local" site on the desktop.

The core is built with Rust and the CLI leverages Node.js making Tauri a genuinely polyglot approach to creating and maintaining great apps. Tauri is a toolkit that helps developers make applications for the major desktop platforms - using virtually any frontend framework in existence. MacGap with Node.js integration (it seems to be getting stale) You can extend Neutralinojs with any programming language (via extensions IPC) and use Neutralinojs as a part of any source file (via child processes IPC). It lets you develop lightweight cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Neutralinojs is a lightweight and portable desktop application development framework. there are Windows, Mac and Linux builds available. you then package your package.json start.html modules and JavaScript files into a ZIP file (with the. The gist is that it basically extends the JavaScript engine for you to write a web-based application supporting Node.js' extended object model, and modules. There are some other minor differences, but it's worth looking at. It’s very similar to node-webkit, though it will run the script first, and you have to create a view/window for the user. This is the shell that GitHub's Atom and Microsoft's Code editors use.
