Excellent, any idea what's the app download size? Example for Hello World app?
what I mean is final download size with the qt and node runtime dependencies.
I was asking myself the same question, but I think it should be way lighter since QT should be lighter than Chromium. But if anyone has an example I'd like to know as well.
I actually tried it out and it seems impressive The app was simple, it displayed an animated gif photo, platform- win built project size - 80mb exe size - 55mb compressed rar size- 21 mb cpu usage- mostly 0 to 0.1 , max - 0.3 memory usage - 20 to 25 mb hope it helps
thanks for the info
I'd be very interested in this esp. for CPU & Memory reasons. Are there any benchmarks available?

How is this different from Electron?
it says UI is QT instead of Chromium
Seems like it should perform better
yep perorms much better
Im also wondering about the app size. Also is it possible to create menu bar apps?

What makes it stand apart from Electron ?
Better performances. Less memory and CPU usage. I'd be curious to know the size of a simple Hello world app though.
Well some MB's . Would definitely try this !
I couldn't managed to run on windows
Maybe you are missing something, you would need to install visual studio 2017+ with "for desktop dev" setting and microsoft sdk included. Also you would need cmake. If you are on windows. text me if you have any issues
Could not run on windows, node gave errors when doing npm start
