A TypeScript‑Only, Ultra‑Light Desktop Framework: Meet Electrobun

Electrobun is an open‑source framework that lets developers build cross‑platform desktop apps with only TypeScript, achieving roughly 12 MB bundle size by leveraging the system WebView, Bun runtime, and Zig native bindings, while offering incremental updates and type‑safe RPC, positioning it between Electron’s bloat and Tauri’s Rust complexity.
