**Gluon is a framework for creating "desktop apps" from websites**, using **system installed browsers** *(not webviews)* and NodeJS, differing a lot from other existing active projects - opening up innovation and allowing some major advantages. Instead of other similar frameworks bundling a browser like Chromium or using webviews (like Edge Webview2 on Windows), **Gluon just uses system installed browsers** like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc. Gluon supports Chromium ***and Firefox*** based browsers as the frontend, while Gluon's backend uses NodeJS to be versatile and easy to develop.

## Features
- **Uses normal system installed browsers** - allows user choice by **supporting most Chromium *and Firefox*** based browsers, no webviews
