Electron packages web apps as native desktop applications. Powers VS Code, Slack, Discord, and hundreds of other desktop apps. Criticized for memory usage.

SolidJS provides React-like JSX with fine-grained reactivity and no Virtual DOM. Incredibly fast with a small bundle. SolidStart for full-stack development.
Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“React-like syntax with true reactivity and no Virtual DOM overhead. The performance benchmarks speak for themselves.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Impressive technology but tiny ecosystem. For production apps, React or Svelte have better library support.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“SolidJS's reactivity model is influencing the entire framework ecosystem. The ideas matter even if adoption is niche.”
