Carlo: Discontinued Node.js Framework for Chrome-Based Application Rendering
By
keepamovin
Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
Carlo is a discontinued Node.js framework that enabled developers to create hybrid applications using Google Chrome for rendering and Node.js for backend capabilities. It provided a web rendering surface for Node applications by communicating with locally-installed Chrome instances via Puppeteer and implementing remote call infrastructure between Node and browser. The project is no longer maintained but allowed creation of applications combining web stack rendering with Node's capabilities.
