Electron.NET vs NodeGUI: What are the differences?

Developers describe Electron.NET as "Build cross platform desktop apps using .NET core and ASP.NET core". Electron.NET is a wrapper around a "normal" Electron application with a embedded ASP.NET Core application. Via our Electron.NET IPC bridge we can invoke Electron APIs from .NET. The CLI extensions hosts our toolset to build and start Electron.NET applications. On the other hand, NodeGUI is detailed as "*A library for building cross-platform native desktop applications *". It is an open source library for building cross-platform native desktop applications with JavaScript and CSS like styling. It is based on Qt5 and NOT chromium, hence it is memory and cpu efficient.

Electron.NET and NodeGUI belong to "Cross-Platform Desktop Development" category of the tech stack.

Electron.NET and NodeGUI are both open source tools. Electron.NET with 3.63K GitHub stars and 296 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than NodeGUI with 2.35K GitHub stars and 34 GitHub forks.
