Gluon - A new Electron-like framework but with a new approach

CanadaHonk — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 20:21:12 +0000

I recently (~1 month ago) started a new framework called Gluon, which is similar to Electron in what it does (websites -> desktop apps), but with a new, different approach:

Uses system installed browsers instead of bundling Chromium or using webview libraries.
Supports Chromium and Firefox (unlike any other similar frameworks).
Focusing on developer experience, rapid prototyping, and ease of use.
Also supports Deno instead of Node (WIP).
Experimental/early (barely a month since first line written).

Site: https://gluonjs.org/
GitHub: https://github.com/gluon-framework/gluon

Has been blowing up on GitHub recently too (on GitHub Trending the last 2 days), gotten almost 1k stars in last few days. Very open to hear opinions/questions, thanks!

Hello all!

Finally actually joined here after lurking for a while.

I recently (this / last Friday) open sourced my first project in a while. It's a web app which uses an API / server I'm working on (closed source).

The API translates text into sign language(s)! Proper videos of people doing it, not emojis / images / etc.

I'm hosting the app on my web server here, with the source on GitHub.

I also have some API docs, incase anyone is interested. ;)

Feel free to give any feedback, or shoot any issues or pull requests on the repo.

Also, the app (and especially) docs suck / are kinda broken on mobile. Working on some fixes soon. :P

PS: Also probably / hoping to release the source of the docs soon! As well as the API / server in the (far) future, need to do a lot of work on stability, configurability, etc.
