Didn't know UWP/WinForms/WPF are multi-platform compatible. -
@Skayo you're right, they aren't. So that leaves you with Java 😉
-
@heyheni true. I don’t wanna build that UI 🙄
-
@MrCSharp or use Qt, which takes up like 5MB and actually works cross-platform 🙃
-
@Krokoklemme pretty much anything that isn't html and JS for desktop dev is better 😂

@Skayo is it your work? Cool

@Krokoklemme makes a great combo with QtWebEngine + Node.js + some bindings and BAM! You have Electron but it consumes less RAM.
Just found out about Yue, a GUI library for Node.js, Lua and C++ (and owners of the "gui" package on npm).
It is so awesome! The RAM usage is so low compared to Electron! Of course it has its limitations and doesn't use HTML + CSS + JavaScript, but you can still build really good applications with it!
I'll show you what I'm making at the moment soon, so stay tuned!
Anyways I've built the same application in Electron and Yue, here's the comparison of the RAM usage:
