In fact I am looking on something like XS7 for my Sciter (https://sciter.com) to provide ability to run <script type=text/javascript>.

Sciter is an implementation of HTML(~5)/CSS(~3) and DOM/layout/rendering. As for now it has its own JS alike script and VM and is contained in single DLL < 5mb all together.

So "yes", mini-electron is feasible and exists already I would say.

Sciter is awesome.

I found it too hard to start writing something with TIScript, maybe if there was some step-by-step tutorial it could be easier.

I believe you could became big player in "web to desktop" market if only sciter had JS & DOM support. That would give you access to existing code and make sciter almost drop in replacement for nw.js or electron.

Have you considered opening up the source code for Sciter? You can easily get a significant amount of apps just due to the size and still maintain "paid and supported" version.

I am considering that too. The only thing that is worrying me is that it may take quite a lot of time/effort to publish it.

Yet, I am not that good in "legaleze" language, GPL vs BSD vs paid options, etc.

Pls seek help and capitalise on the current situation in desktop apps. We need low memory consuming apps seriously
