Astrodon is a desktop application framework for Deno built on top of Tauri, letting developers create webview-based desktop apps with TypeScript out of the box. It supports compiling apps to executables and installers, but is currently unmaintained.

Use cases

  • build desktop apps with deno
  • create webview desktop applications in typescript
  • compile deno apps to native executables
  • make installers for desktop apps
  • desktop gui framework for deno developers

When to choose

  • you want to build desktop apps using Deno and TypeScript
  • you want a Tauri-based workflow with Deno as the backend runtime
  • you need to compile webview apps into executables on Windows or Linux

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained framework with active support
  • you need macOS or Apple Silicon support
  • you need production-ready desktop development today - use Tauri directly
  • you need web workers or a plugin system, which were never implemented
