Electron, but lighter. A Firefox-engine alternative powered by Servo. Drop-in replacement — just run gelectron . instead of electron .
+ + + +Why Gelectron exists
+ +Run gelectron . instead of electron . and your app just works. Same Node.js code, same require('electron') imports, zero changes needed.
+Powered by Servo, Mozilla's next-gen browser engine. Uses Gecko's CSS engine (Stylo) and GPU compositor (WebRender) instead of bundling Chromium.
+Implements core Electron APIs: app, BrowserWindow, ipcMain/ipcRenderer, Menu, Tray, Dialog, Shell, Notification, nativeImage, contextBridge, and more.
+Rust static linking means smaller output than Electron's Chromium bundle. No more 150MB+ binaries for simple apps.
+Servo's architecture is designed for embedding and uses less memory than Chromium. Your users will notice the difference.
+Core engine written in Rust for safety and performance. N-API addon bridges Rust and Node.js seamlessly.
+Gelectron is in very early development. This is an experiment — a proof of concept that Electron apps can run on a non-Chromium engine. Many Electron APIs are currently stubs or incomplete. Some things will break. Some things don't exist yet.
+The goal right now isn't to replace Electron for production apps. It's to explore whether this is possible, learn how Electron's internals work, and build a foundation that could grow into something real.
+If you're curious, try it out with a simple Electron app. If you find bugs, open an issue. If you want to contribute, even better.
