Sciter's author here...

I am thinking of making Sciter as UI module for NodeJs.

1. Strip down version of Sciter - only HTML/CSS/Graphics modules. It will use JavaScript of NodeJs (either V8 or Chackra).

2. That version will be Open Source in the same way as NodeJs itself.

The goals are:

1. To provide more optimal alternative to Electron - faster and far less resource consuming.

2. Modular and reusable implementation. Example: Sciter contains my own Graphics C++ library that wraps various backends: Direct2D/Write, CoreGraphics, Skia, Cairo, GDI+. Such Graphics module library alone can be useful in other projects. Same is for HTML/CSS modules.

Not sure if all that is interesting for someone. If it is - please let me know.
