I would go for web-view or ideally, it's Rust bindings since I am a Rust developer.

Web-view is similar to Electron, in the way that you can use html, css and js to write your apps, but a lot less resource demanding. So I am wondering why not more people are using it.

Also, I would use Elm instead of JavaScript so I don't have to deal with run-time errors. And there is even an example for that with the Rust bindings of web-view.

Another fella in this thread had a close suggestion. I will have a look for sure. 😁
