Build performant, native and cross-platform desktop applications with Vue.πŸš€

Vue NodeGUI is powered by Vue 🌈 and Qt5 πŸ’š which makes it CPU and memory efficient as compared to other chromium based solutions like electron. Vue NodeGUI is essentially a Vue renderer for NodeGUI.

Visit: https://vue.nodegui.org for docs.

This project is in active development. It should be okay for smaller projects but anything complex - electron is the way to go for now. 🚧
