Ask HN: Stack for creating web app also hosted on Windows app

2 pointstomabe3 comments

I need to create a web app which should run on usual browsers (chrome, firefox, edge, ...) and as hosted application on Windows 10.

Which options do I have? For example AngularJS hosted within Electron is a viable option?

You could use whatever JS framework you would like, and as a wrapper you could use Electron or QT. You have to also think about connections, updates, multiple screen support, HI Res, but it's all doable. Further more using electron or QT you could make your app cross platform

Yeap, seems that Electron is good and fancy way, especially when I see (use) apps like VSCode or Atom. Maybe Slack is using in Electron, too, for native Windows and macos apps?
