First thing I want to clarify, there is NO BROWSER involved, these are all native GTK components! Again NO BROWSERS were harmed (or… Continue reading Desktop NativeScript
Svelte and making it into a REAL desktop Application!
Now isn't that a title! In all reality it is two separate frameworks that I have proto-typed and played with. The first (Node-GTK-Svelte) I'll discuss in this blog post.
