If this were true nobody would hire contractors on a short time (less than a year) basis.

The blink rendering engine inside chrome?
The .net has Eto.Forms which does something similar

Ask HN: How would you create a better Electron alternative?

Everytime an Electron-based application is discussed here the same criticism comes up:- High RAM usage- Lower performance than native applications...My question is, can anybody come up with a idea for a better alternative? Ideally it would be able to:- Work with JavaScript- Layout the UI using HTML / CSS- High performance / lower RAM usage

This uses .Net and mono

https://www.browseemall.com a cross browser testing application for everybody who does not want to use a cloud based one.

Makes a good amount of cash per year, and is my excuse to experiment with cross platform .net / mono desktop applications.

You might want to look into http://www.browseemall.com which does something like this.
You could compile the data yourself every week using Google Analytics or Google Webmaster tools no doubt.

The tool mainly provides you the convenience and time savings of not having to do this manually every week. Most people (me included) do not want to spent the time (and time is money) on trying to figure out where you can find the different data sets inside Google Analytics.

Generally people will need to get online to get the latest version (which is necessary frequently to get newer browser versions). During this time the licence is also checked.

In my experience the customers expect a subscription based pricing especially with an application that required high-frequency updates (I release a new version once or twice a month).

For more than 3 years now I am making a decend full time income with a desktop cross browser testing application ( http://www.browseemall.com)

It is for a rather small customer group but still works great and is growing modestly.
