Neutron

About Neutron

Neutron is an open-source tool for creating desktop applications based on web applications. Neutron uses Gecko/Firefox under the hood.

Usage

Neutron can be configured through the configurator.py configuration wizard. After being configured, config.json is generated in the build folder and build.py can be run to build your application. One example of a Neutron application is Datcord. More information can be found on the wiki.

Making an application

Currently, neutron applications can only be built on Linux.

git clone https://github.com/gamingdoom/neutron.git --recurse-submodules -j8
cd neutron
pip install -r requirements.txt
python configurator.py
cd build
python build.py

Why?

Neutron is beneficial for the internet as a whole as it challenges the status quo of everything being Chromium based. If more people are able to use browsers other than Chromium, the internet will be freer since there will be no browser monoply.
