It's not terrible, electron is good for stuff like what you discuss

I just like native apps better haha

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Native apps have the potential to be better than electron apps for sure. I get that.

This is a surface level thing though - the question is: would THIS app, written by THAT organisation be better if it was native? Unlikely because they don't have the skillset for it...otherwise it would have been a native app. Its also likely that less apps would even exist because the barrier to entry is higher without electron and similar.

But this is just a meme and I'm taking this way too seriously!
