Performant Node desktop apps with NodeGUI

What if you could have an Electron-like app framework without the Chromium dependency and resulting performance woes? Well, now you can. NodeGUI is a Qt5-powered, cross-platform, native app GUI framework for JavaScript with CSS-like styling. In this episode, Jerod and Nick sit down with Atul –author of NodeGUI and NodeGUI React– to learn about this exciting framework. We ask him a zillion and one questions about it.
