A .NET Core library for opening native OS windows containing web-based UI on Windows, Mac, and Linux, serving as a lightweight cross-platform webview wrapper. It is no longer maintained and was the precursor to Photino and Blazor hybrid desktop apps.
Use cases
- build cross-platform desktop apps with .NET core and web UI
- open a native OS window showing a webview from dotnet
- create hybrid desktop+web apps without electron
- host blazor UI in a native desktop window
- lightweight alternative to electron for dotnet apps
When to choose
- you need a minimal, dependency-light webview wrapper for .NET Core
- you want to study how hybrid desktop+web .NET apps work
When to avoid
- you want a maintained library - use Photino or .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid instead
- you need production support or recent platform updates
- you need mobile or advanced desktop features
