Turn web apps into lightweight native apps, no electron

So, this is just a link to a webview without any chrome (UI chrome, not the browser backend)? Does this or does it not include a chromium runtime? If it does, it&#x27;s incredibly wasteful, just like electron. If it doesn&#x27;t, congratulations, you&#x27;ve invented the desktop link.<p>It also doesn&#x27;t solve any of the real problems with electron, since it doesn&#x27;t actually give you any native software of any kind. Electron apps are annoying because they&#x27;re wasteful, but also because they don&#x27;t use my native UI elements. They don&#x27;t conform with my expectations. And this doesn&#x27;t solve that either.<p>So what DOES this do? For whom is it?

OP, calling them &quot;native&quot; apps is misleading here. &quot;Standalone&quot; may be what you mean.

Nice work! Tested it and it looks promising for simple web apps that require minimal native APIs. What happens if the user does not have Chrome installed?
