libui-node

Node.js bindings for libui library.

libui is a lightweight, portable GUI library that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.

It is in early stage of development, but is evolving at great pace and is really awesome. It could become an awesome alternative to Electron to develop multiplatform GUI, expecially suited to develop small apps.
