How did WebKit lose out to electron ?
chrome and electron-based applications really heat the Mac, get the fan running all the time and bringing it to a halt.
Are there projects to build native cocoa apps on top of eth/btc much like aquamacs for emacs
Are there technical reasons why electron won over WebKit

- noloblo 9y agoYes it does but the big culprits are slack chrome and ethereum
