Seems a good place to mention https://sciter.com/

It's been on HN loads of times.

A "browser" engine but very narrow scope. Works a treat for LOB type apps.

I was sad when the creator tried to raise enough funds to open-source Sciter and there wasn't much interest. If 1% of the people who complain about Electron had pledged something, we would have it as a good alternative today.

Open sourcing software to which you hold copyright doesn’t cost anything.

False. This is very naive. If this was true, we wouldn't get the regular posts on HN about OSS drama, and how some people gave up OSS. Opening source up is more than showing us the source.
