Build cross platform desktop applications with HTML, CSS and script!

Examples:

• Hello World.
• Notes.
• Login Discord-clone.
• To-Do List.
• Splash Screen.
• Project Tools.

Guide:

• Create Cross-Platform desktop applications with HTML, CSS and script!

• Creating desktop screens is easy using the sciter.

• See more on GitHub.

• Perhaps these videos help you understand a little bit about the library.

• Some Tutorials.

• Understand about Sciter architecture.

• Documentation.

• About Licensing and pricing.

• Sciter Wizard for Visual Studio Code.

• Development Tools.

• My impressions:

  • Ease of use.
  • With a few kb, we do a lot, unlike the Electron. Which also produces cross-platform desktop applications.
  • I didn't find the documentation and items of this in an easy way, however on the website you can search for problems efficiently.
  • Embeddable, can be used with any programming language.
  • Does not support all CSS 3 features 😥.
  • We do not use JavaScript, but TIScript is an extended version of ECMAScript. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but at the beginning it produces a certain discomfort, see more here

How to test location:

• If the OS is Linux or MacOS just run config-sciter.sh

• Configure Sciter according to the OS

  • At the moment, only Go 1.10 or higher is supported.

  • Download sciter-sdk.

  • Extract the sciter library sciter-sdk.

  • The runtime libraries are in /bin bin.lnx | bin.osx suffixed like dll sooudylib.

  • Windows: just copy bin\64\sciter.dll for c:\windows\system32

  • Linux:

        user@user:~$ cd sciter-sdk/bin.lnx/x64
        user@user:~$ export LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
        user@user:~$ echo $PWD >> libsciter.conf
        user@user:~$ sudo cp libsciter.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
        user@user:~$ sudo ldconfig
        user@user:~$ ldconfig -p | grep sciter

  • OSX:

        cd sciter-sdk/bin.osx/
        export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD

  • Set up the GCC environment for CGO.

  • mingw64-gcc (5.2.0 e 7.2.0 are tested) is recommended for users of Windows.

  • At the Linux, gcc (4.8 or superior) e gtk + -3.0 are necessary.

    • Install the build-essential package (The command installs several new packages including gcc, g++ and make.) typing:

        user@user:~$ sudo apt install build-essential

    • Instale o gtk + -3.0

        user@user:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev
        user@user:~$ dpkg -L libgtk-3-dev | grep '\.pc'
        user@user:~$ pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0

  • Import the Sciter library with:

        go get -x github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter
