It’s a good technology though

Something like this with a robust integration and maintenance could be a cool technology when you don't want to use Web Views to create a desktop app in node. Now I'm using Electron, which is cool, but sometimes I do not need to make a "shiny" app, just a lightweight one. In this case, Qt or something similar would be very cool, but unfortunately... I haven't seen supported GUI libraries for node (aside from NW.js, Electron and similar). The same applies to OpenGL, if you want to draw nice graphics in node, the supported solutions are always web based, such using WebGL inside a browser or a webview. It would be very good to support those, for now I think I will try to create a native addon directly and call it from node... but has a lot of overhead.

FYI: There is some new development happening in https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark which is supposed to be a similar project to Electrino which was Electron without all the bulk.

It might be worth following to see where it ends up.
