Why use Neutralinojs instead of Electron?

Neutralinojs is significantly more lightweight because it uses the system's native web view instead of bundling Chromium, resulting in much smaller binaries and lower memory usage.

Can I use React or Vue with this Neutralinojs skill?

Absolutely. This skill provides specific guidance on integrating the @neutralinojs/lib package into modern frontend framework workflows and handling HMR.

Do I need to initialize Neutralino before using APIs?

Yes, you must call Neutralino.init() before accessing any native API methods to ensure the client-server communication between your frontend and the native process is established.

How does this skill handle security?

The skill enforces security best practices such as using one-time tokens and configuring nativeAllowList and nativeBlockList to restrict API access to only what your application requires.
