About this tag
The javascript frameworks tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of JavaScript-based frameworks and tooling that Windows users and developers actually run into. Current coverage includes TinyJS, a JavaScript-first desktop app framework that relies on the WebView2 runtime already present in Windows 10 and 11 instead of bundling a full browser, producing builds of roughly 6 MB compared with Electron.
