Photino.NET is the .NET 6 wrapper for the Photino.Native project, enabling developers to build lightweight native cross-platform desktop applications with web UIs (Blazor, React, Angular, Vue, plain HTML) on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It uses the OS's built-in WebKit/Chromium-based browser control, making apps far smaller and lighter than Electron.
Use cases
- build cross-platform desktop apps with web UI in C#
- lightweight Electron alternative for .NET
- wrap a Blazor app in a native desktop window
- build a desktop app with React or Vue frontend and .NET backend
- create small native apps using OS webview instead of bundling Chromium
- develop hybrid desktop applications with HTML/JS/CSS UI
When to choose
- you want a .NET desktop app with a web-based UI without Electron's size and memory overhead
- you already have web frontend skills (Blazor, React, Angular, Vue) and want native packaging
- you need cross-platform desktop support on Windows, macOS, and Linux from one codebase
When to avoid
- you need deep native UI widgets or platform-specific look and feel rather than web-rendered UI
- you require a mature ecosystem with extensive tooling like Electron's
- your app must run on platforms outside Windows/macOS/Linux
