Any lightweight, cross-platform desktop application frameworks that perform well when bundled into a single executable?

[bukowa]

Hi,

I successfully built a single executable following official instruction. It works fine on Windows (I haven't tested it on other platforms yet). I want my application to be small and lightweight, so I'm looking for a library that will allow me to add a cross-platform desktop UI to my application.

Do you have any recommendations?

Maybe you can try slint-node now~

I'm trying to do something similar by crossing nodejs and webview, but the node sea api is not yet developed enough to make it work properly

For simple stuff, I've had luck using deno-windowing/dwm (to open a window) and deno-windowing/dimgui (DearIMGUI for the UI)

deno compile generates a single executable.

Here's where I posted my experiment:
https://github.com/cspotcode/deno-gui-sandbox

tl;dr is:

$ git clone https://github.com/cspotcode/deno-gui-sandbox
$ cd deno-gui-sandbox
$ deno compile --unstable-ffi -A ./imgui2.ts
$ ./imgui2.exe
