Definitely of interest. Also of interest would be using Sciter for embedded (but not mobile) apps. Its a natural fit for certain markets.

Are you still considering open sourcing Sciter? I personally hope so - but also know how much is involved in going down that path.

"would be using Sciter for embedded apps" that is not a problem already. E.g. it runs on ARMs like Raspberry Pi. SDK contains binaries that use GTK but it is possible to run it without any window manager. Access to FB or video memory is enough.

As of OpenSource, yes I have plans for that. The only problem is that OS is a great responsibility, at least for me. It is going to be a significant effort to document source code, etc. I am actively looking for sponsors for the effort.

re: embedded - I thought as much - I think it likely just needs some use cases and marketing to drive adoptions.

Regarding Open source / sponsorship / support: - Andrew I will follow up directly via email over weekend.
