Ugly, bloated, poorly integrated and weird UI bugs, like scaling randomly failing on high DPI displays.
Only useful for web-only teams who have no desktop experience whatsoever. If you can afford to hire a desktop team, do it.
- mbrock 9y agoI don't know if Spotify is Electron but it's some kind of embedded Chrome and I'm really happy that it scales so well on my Linux HiDPI setup. The regular zoom shortcuts for Chrome just work. I also love that about Slack. Arbitrary user zooming in native apps is usually not implemented at all.
- problems 9y agoTry to use VSCode or Atom on Windows on a 4k display - blurry text, text that random switches between blurry and not blurry. Seriously, I had it so every even scroll was crisp and clear but every odd scroll was blurry and awful on VSCode for some reason, I confirmed this looking at it on a 100dpi screen. The relevant bugs are upstreamed to Electron.
- mbrock 9y agoI wonder if HiDPI is handled better by the other cross-platform UI toolkits that people recommend over Electron...
