Electron is a sub-optimal solution to the fact that desktop development today is horrible. You either have to write your app twice (or three times if you want Linux) or use Qt, which limits you to either C++ or this weird langauge/ecosystem nobody knows called Qt Quick.
Electron lets you write desktop apps that work decently well everywhere in a language you already know.

- lima 10y agoDistributing a PyQT app with PyInstaller is absolutely painless. It's a single binary and "just works", the interpreter is automatically bundled.
- jhasse 10y agoIsn't PyQt GPL though?
- cpburns2009 10y agoPyQt is GPL. PySide is the LGPL alternative. Last I knew PySide was still working on Qt 5 support though.
