Hi,

Doesn't Quark generate an EXE installation (NSIS) file? (like electron)

Does it run only on Quark IDE?

Thank you.

No. Quark does not generates an exe or an NSIS file. This is intentional as you already have a framework for that and it's called electron.

For more information on why that is the case you can read my medium article here

Briefly explaining, Quark enables you to build native desktop app (like) sketches that have full capability of an electron application yet weighing only a few kilobytes instead of hundereds of megabytes. To share it with the world you can use quark appstore (currently under development) that takes care of all the things like auto-updates, release versioning e.t.c.

Quark is built to power small applications like todo apps, image resizers/converters, GUI client for cli's e.t.c
