Yue is a C++ library for building native cross-platform desktop GUI applications, with bindings for Node.js and Lua. It provides native widgets, a layout system, menus, notifications, and webview support so apps use each platform's real UI controls.
Use cases
- build a native cross-platform desktop app in C++
- create a GUI app with Node.js using native widgets
- make a lightweight alternative to Electron with native controls
- build a desktop app with Lua bindings
- render GUI views with React via react-yue
- add native menus, notifications, and file dialogs to a desktop app
When to choose
- you want truly native widgets instead of web-rendered UI
- you prefer C++, Node.js, or Lua over other GUI toolkits
- you need a lighter-weight, smaller-footprint alternative to Electron
- you need cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux
When to avoid
- you need a rich web-based UI ecosystem like Electron or Tauri
- you need mobile (iOS/Android) targets
- you want a large community and frequent updates, as development is slow
- you need a declarative UI framework with hot reload out of the box
