Chrohime – cross-platform C library wrapping Chromium's native UI code

I wrote this library to explore the possibility of adding native UI APIs to the Electron framework, and I think the concept works quite well. The development (or experiment) stopped partly because I left MSFT, and partly because a CI infrastructure for building Chromium is too high for my own pocket. There is probably no future for it unless some organization is willing to sponsor the development, but this is a very cool project and I hope someone else except me will like it.
