Is this a native app or Electron? Electron is super slow and was a mistake.
- domoritz 10y agoI thought so too until I used VScode and no I'm not sure anymore.
- me551ah 10y agoIt's a hybrid app , but we use nw.js instead of electron. nw.js is a lot faster than electron.
- chaitanya 10y agoWe don't use Electron, but its the same principle. The desktop app is written using HTML/CSS/Javascript running inside a webview. I get why people hate Electron based apps, and we are working hard to ensure that Flock keeps its footprint as low as possible given our architecture (there's a significant advantage in building one desktop app instead of three different ones). We are not there yet, but soon we should reach a point where our CPU/memory usage is not a concern.
- sukhmeet2390 10y agoAny reason for terming Electron app as slow? The best i could find was https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5672 https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5672
