What's the point of this? Xamarin is cross platform and a lot more "lightweight" than this will ever be. xamarin.forms supports mac, windows (uwp right now, wpf soon), GTK, Android and iOS.

Correct me if I am wrong ...

Sure Xamarin.Forms will be a lot more "lightweight".

Chromely is an HTML desktop app.

All the options you mention will end up being traditional (with their own controls) desktop apps with HTML support. Chromely is pure HTML. Chromely is not tied to rigid frontend controls .. you can use any html/javascript/css framework you like.

Chromely does not use WinForm or WPF. Extendable to WinForms and WPF for those who want to.

So, a different approach, if you may.

So your team is only using one UI tech.

Yes, for now, just humble me. Others are already showing interest, and the team will grow, I hope.

Contributions are always welcome, via issues raised, or PRs or any other means.
