I love to rag on Electron apps just as much as the next guy don't get me wrong but honestly it's just Discord that's So Fucked Up

obviously building a desktop app in JavaScript is a shit idea in theory but in practice, most Electron based apps are like. fine. good enough.

Zoom? perfectly acceptable performance. VS Code? works pretty much fine. Signal? works great, even on my decrepit laptop. Element? see Signal. Discord? fucking dogshit, even on my desktop.

honestly, thinking about it, using HTML and CSS to build the layout for a desktop application sounds like a pretty good idea. perhaps someday a library that does this in a Real Language like Go/C(++)/Rust could compete with Electron for building desktop applications.

ADDENDUM: STEAM ALSO FUCKING SUCKS, SOMEHOW EVEN WORSE THAN DISCORD

Counterpoint, Zoom is a terrible piece of software that constantly has weird problems and the UI is terrible.

oh certainly the design of the application is horrendous but at least it doesn't kick my laptop fans to full load like discord does lmfao

re: your last paragraph, the rust version of this actually exists and dropped not long ago this year, it’s called Tauri and it looks pretty good

this looks pretty neat but it also seems very much like Electron 2. support for JavaScript seems like a bad idea and using the OS's native web renderer sounds like total overkill. ideally, My Glorious Vision only needs to support HTML and CSS, with all app logic being done in a compiled language. Taking the rendering engine from some super dinky browser like NetSurf or Dillo and freshening it up a bit would likely be totally adequate for this purpose.

also it seems like their idea of "performant" is for hello world to use 200-300 mb of RAM, so. :sixty:

sheesh i didn't realize the memory usage was like that their blog got me too hype lol

I don't know, I definitely always have problems with Electron apps on Linux. To the point where I use Slack in the browser because of weird glitches. VS Code is, I think, one of the most solid Electron apps. MS developers seemingly optimized the heck out of it.
