A lighter V8 - Hackdot

This looks interesting but the code samples look like they include non-standard features (if I'm not mistaken).

Is this compatible out of the box with (most) modern web apps? Because that's the real value of Electron.

No it's not. It uses its own JS-like scripting language, and custom CSS 3 support.

A couple of months ago the author suggested on Reddit he might start working on an Electron alternative that used Node + Sciter.
