Alternatives to WebView

When it comes to creating a desktop app with a web frontend, there are many options
outside WebView.

See an extensive list of Electron alternatives here: https://github.com/sudhakar3697/electron-alternatives

Don't Make a Desktop App

A good portion of WebView apps could have been much better as web apps or browser
extensions. Please consider this as you research what library is best for you.

Non HTML/CSS/JS Frameworks

Chances are, HTML/CSS/JS is not the right choice for your app, especially
if it's a tool (designed to do one thing). Using HTML/CSS/JS as your frontend
can be justified when your frontend is bigger than your backend.

• GTK
• LCUI
• Qt
• ncurses

Chrome/Chromium Rendering Backend

Using Chrome/Chromium as a web backend is very useful, since most people have it
installed, and know how to install it.

WebView doesn't officially support android, but it's not too hard to get a
webview up and running there.
