PhotinoX

Lightweight .NET wrapper for native OS WebView windows:

Windows: WebView2
macOS: WKWebView
Linux: WebKitGTK 4.1

PhotinoX is a maintained fork of Photino.NET focused on stability, compatibility, and predictable cross‑platform behavior.

What is PhotinoX?

PhotinoX builds on the original Photino design: native desktop windows hosted by modern Web UI technologies (Blazor, React, Vue, Angular, etc.), without bundling a full Chromium runtime.
It relies entirely on OS‑native WebView engines, keeping apps small and efficient.

Note: PhotinoX is an independent fork of tryphotino/photino.NET under the Apache‑2.0 license and is not affiliated with the original project or organization.

Core (ecosystem)

PhotinoX.Native - native binaries for Windows/macOS/Linux.
PhotinoX.Blazor - Blazor integration for native desktop apps.
PhotinoX.Server - optional static-file server (avoids CORS/ESM issues).
PhotinoX.Samples - sample projects showcasing common scenarios.
