Some real life applications that use Sciter core engine for their UI
- HTML/CSS under the hood.

Build cross platform desktop applications with HTML, CSS and script

Sciter brings a stack of web technologies to desktop UI development.
Web designers, and developers, can reuse their experience and
expertise in creating modern looking desktop applications.

Various GUI frameworks offer different UI declaration and styling
languages, such as QML and XAML (Microsoft WPF). On the contrary,
Sciter allows using time proven, robust, and flexible HTML and CSS
for GUI definition, and GPU accelerated rendering.

In almost 10 years, Sciter UI engine has become the secret weapon of
success for some of the most prominent antivirus products on the
market: Norton Antivirus and Internet Security, Comodo Internet
Security, ESET Antivirus, BitDefender Antivirus, and others. The use
of HTML/CSS has allowed their UI to stay in touch with modern GUI
trends throughout all these years, and will continue to well into the
future.

Sciter Engine is a single, compact DLL of 5+ Mb in size. Application
using it are 10+ times smaller than the ones built with Electron or
Qt. And size of the distribution matters, one of main Sciter's
customers discovered "golden 40 seconds" rule: for the user, to buy a
product, it should not take more than 40 seconds from the click on
"download" button to the UI to appear on screen.

Sciter Quark

And with Sciter's Quark you can build native HTML/CSS/JavaScript
applications just by using your favorite source code editor.

User interface of the 21st century

We are entering the era of 200-300 pixels per inch monitors (e.g.
retina) that contain 4-9 times more pixels than previous displays.
Modern CPUs are simply not capable to "rasterize" that amount of
data, so GPU acceleration is definitely required. Sciter, and HTML/
CSS in it, is the natural choice for this purpose. Sciter uses modern
hardware accelerated graphic back-ends wherever they are available.

Rapidly changing UI fashion and trends are everywhere. Yesterday, it
was the so-called skeuomorphism. Today, Metro and Material Design are
our everything. With Sciter, changing the front end of your
application involves just altering the styles (CSS), and probably a
couple of scripts that do animations. No need to rewrite the whole
application because your old GUI is nailed down to the rest of your
code.

We live in the "era of AppStores", when application installation by
the user is just a matter of a few clicks. Consider Sciter even if
you are planning to develop a pure web application. Why to put your
great design into a Procrustean bed of a browser tab? In Sciter, your
UI may use multiple HTML/CSS windows. Particular DOM elements can
even be rendered in separate popup windows outside of the main window
surface if that's needed for better usability, and user experience.
Do you really want to invest a vast amount of resources into testing
application in multiple browsers? Sciter UI would allow it to run
seamlessly on all desktop OSes with minor OS specific style tweaks.

Sciter code runs on 460 million desktops

Since the first official release in 2006, Sciter UI and its core
engine have operated on over 340 million PCs, Macs and Linux desktops
worldwide.
