I only use things like Discord in Safari and Firefox to not have to use the Electron app.
I really don’t get how everything has to use web UI. SwiftUI is really easy to learn and you can run this on any Apple platform. Flutter is a mess but you can run it on Android. GTK looks just gorgeous and Qt can run on everything but ChromeOS (like 99% of things). Is it really too much to ask for 3 more developers in a company that build native?
Small addition: I unsubscribed like many others from 1Password because with version 8 even they switched from native to Electron.
This is just crazy.
I mean guys, frickin think about people who can’t afford recent hardware! Do we really want Electron and thus Chromium/Google to force us to buy 1000€+ hardware to be able to do things?
Its not 1990 anymore, you have more than 2 megabytes of ram.
Honestly for me electron apps can also get pretty janky.
Plus Electron takes WAY more than 2mb of RAM.
And thus cripples battery life.

You’re right, it’s not. Now you need 16Gb because no one can be bothered writing their UI without this garbage anymore.
