Is this supposed to be similar to electron?
Randy
@saadshamim No. WebShell is not nw.js nor electron alternative, which is only a WebView container. It do NOT provide you an Node.js runtime. The motivation of WebShell is taking web app out of browser tab. I always use jsbin.com to startup a frontend demo but I was tired for managing it as a browser tab. Electron and nw.js let you use Node.js and frontend skill to **make** a native app when WebShell let you **bring** the web app to the native. This is the point. It should be compared with Fluid, not nw.js nor Electron.

Fluid is a good alternative for the user. http://fluidapp.com/
