Reasonable alternative to Electron:

github.com/cubiclesoft/php-app-server

Produces similar results at a fraction of the size (e.g. 85KB app size for Linux). And PHP is available to write code for the server side of the app.

How popular is this product? I haven't heard of it before, but it looks interesting. Are there any examples of software on it? What features did you personally use working with it?

P.S. Sorry, I did not notice that you are a representative of this software.

That's okay. It's obviously not as popular as Electron but a number of people have clicked star/fork, so it's slowly gaining traction. I don't advertise my software very often and just expect people to run into my stuff. As to software that uses PHP App Server, there's this:

file-tracker.cubiclesoft.com/

A commercial project I wrote and actively use/maintain.
