Photino

Photino is a framework for creating native, cross-platform desktop applications that leverage web technologies for the user interface. It enables developers to use fast, natively compiled languages like C#, C++, and Java, along with popular web frameworks such as Blazor, React, Angular, and Vue, to build desktop apps that are significantly smaller and more memory-efficient than alternatives like Electron. ## Key Features - **Ultra-Lightweight** — Photino apps are up to 110 times smaller than Electron apps and consume far less system memory. - **Cross-Platform Native** — Builds native desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux using the OS's built-in WebKit-based browser control. - **Web UI Integration** — Use any modern web UI framework (Blazor, React, Angular, Vue, etc.) to design the application interface. - **Native Language Support** — Develop with natively compiled languages like C#, C++, and Java, leveraging frameworks such as .NET 6. ## Philosophy Photino prioritizes minimalism and efficiency, providing a lightweight alternative to heavier desktop application frameworks by utilizing existing OS components and enabling web technology integration without the bloat.

RemoteBlazorWebView

RemoteBlazorWebView provides a drop-in replacement for Microsoft's BlazorWebView controls in WPF and Windows Forms applications, allowing their user interfaces to be accessed and controlled remotely through a web browser. It works by establishing a cloud-based server (RemoteWebViewService) that bridges the local application and a remote browser, enabling scenarios like remote debugging, kiosk management, or cross-platform access without rewriting the UI. ## Key Features - **Remote Browser Control** — Interact with WPF or WinForms BlazorWebView applications from any web browser by connecting to a cloud server. - **Drop-in Replacement** — Seamlessly replaces Microsoft's BlazorWebView controls with minimal code changes, preserving existing application logic. - **Cloud-Based Server** — Leverages the RemoteWebViewService hosted in the cloud to facilitate secure remote connections and UI streaming. - **Cross-Platform Access** — Enables desktop applications built with .NET 9 to be operated from browsers on different devices or operating systems. ## Philosophy The project prioritizes minimal disruption by offering a straightforward replacement for standard BlazorWebView controls, making remote capabilities accessible without extensive re-engineering of existing applications.
