Not too much interest from the public expressed, unfortunately. Existing customers are happy with built-in script and compactness of the engine as it is.
Instead I am making efforts to add ES7 features to the Sciter's script. So there are arrow functions, destructuring assignment, Node's file functions, etc. now. More of those to come - Sciter uses same libuv library for asynchronous IO as Node so porting of all NodeJs runtime is just a matter of time (and practical need).

Well Sciter is 12 years old. Originally it was a "secret" UI engine of Norton Antivirus. Symantec uses it since Norton AV 2007 and other their apps, check this: https://sciter.com/from-skeuomorph-to-flat-ui-evolution-of-o.... Use of CSS is quite convenient in UI of desktop applications. All these years they do not change UI drastically - just modernizing look-and-feel by CSS.
Since then pretty much all serious antiviruses are using the engine for their UI. My estimation (based on customers' survey) is that Sciter code runs on 500 mln PCs and Macs now . That, I think, is comparable with, for example, current FF installation base.
