Earlier quoted context omitted.

And unsurprisingly the downloadable version uses Electron.

Is there a viable alternative for running a web app offline as a “native-ish” application?

Tauri, Wails, Neutralinojs, Saucer, Webview, Pywebview, Ultralight, embedding CEF directly...

Most of them rely on the native OS browser engine, so much lighter in resources at the expense of (possibly) inconsistent rendering.

Ultralight uses its own customized WebKit version, lacks some features, isn't open source, but is a lot lighter than electron.

Embedding CEF directly can be better than Electron as it does not require node.js.

Lots of options.
