Changed sections, added another qt based one and fixed yue description.

[Darkle]

Seems that Yue uses native APIs to draw the UI on each OS, rather than Electron: https://github.com/yue/yue/issues/49

@Darkle Thanks for the PR! Can you change the description into one concise sentence?

a GUI with Node.js bindings to build cross-platform desktop apps using GDI+ on Windows, Cocoa on MacOS, GTK on Linux to render the UI

Also, does Yue belong in the UI Frameworks section? It seems like it doesn't use HTML/CSS as far as I can tell?

I'm wondering if we should change the section names. What about if we changed Web Frameworks to Web GUI Frameworks and changed UI Frameworks to Misc GUI Frameworks.

Or perhaps, since I just found another QT based one (which is funnily enough also called quark), what if we did something like this:

GUI Frameworks

• Electron/Chromium

  • Electron - a Node.js and Chromium runtime to build cross platform desktop apps
  • nw.js - a Node.js and Chromium runtime to build cross platform desktop apps
  • Thrust - a Node.js and Chromium runtime to build cross platform desktop apps

• Misc. HTML

  • Electrino - a runtime to build cross platform desktop apps using the system's own web browser engine (Mac OS only)
  • Quark Shell - a runtime to build cross platform desktop apps using the system's own web browser engine (Mac OS only)
  • Quark - a runtime to build cross platform desktop apps using the system's own web browser engine (Windows only)

• LibUI

  • libui-node - Node.js native desktop GUI framework to build cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) apps.
  • proton-native a React.js environment to build cross platform native desktop apps
  • vuido - a Vue.js environment to build cross platform native desktop apps

• QT

  • Brig - a user interface toolkit based on Qt to build cross-platform apps
  • Quark another one

• Flexbox

  • Yoga - a layout engine which implements Flexbox to build cross-platform (node, browser asm, and standalone) apps

• GDI+/Cocoa/GTK

  • Yue - a library for creating native cross-platform desktop apps with Chromium

System Tray

• trayballoon - a system tray balloon on Windows
• systray - a system tray icon and menu that runs on Windows, Mac, Linux
• menubar - easily create a menubar Electron app on MacOS
• xtray - create a native menubar app on MacOS via a node.js ⇆ Swift bridge using objc runtime
• positron-bar - Electron bar for your linux desktop

Packaging

• nexe - a cli which compiles your Node.js app into a single executable
• pkg - a cli which compiles your Node.js app into a single executable
• node-packer - a cli which compiles your Node.js app into a single executable
• nectarjs - a cli which compiles your Node.js app into a single executable (linux, windows, wasm, asm, arduino)
• lone - a cli which compiles your Node.js app into a single executable
• launchui-packager - an API which packages GUI Node.js applications for Windows, Linux and OS X

The GDI+/Cocoa/GTK section may not be great, but the others look good. What do you think? 🤔

Edit: I suppose technically we could put Yue in the Flexbox section since it does use yoga which is Flexbox.

Great job! I really like this organization 🎉

Let's put Yue under the Flexbox section for now.

Would you like to submit a new PR or modify this one?

Thanks this is great! 💯
