Absolutely disgusting.
- r3bl 9y agoI'll double my RAM every year if that's what's necessary for cross-platform apps that are truly easy to develop.
- Vinnl 9y agoRegardless of your opinion of it, it's not "dead technology" like Chrome apps are, i.e. apps written using it are not guaranteed to stop working at some point.
- magic_quotes 9y agoI wouldn't be so sure. Electron (libchromiumcontent) is a patchset on top of Chromium and it can be easily broken by upstream changes.
- Vinnl 9y agoBut its deprecation hasn't been planned, and a binary you provide won't suddenly be upgraded and stop working. That is not the case for Chromium apps.
- magic_quotes 9y agoYeah, I'm actually more worried about Electron devs manpower/ability to catch regressions on the very big and simultaneously fast moving codebase where the upstream project doesn't really care about their use cases. This must be total PITA. Otherwise it's an ok platform, I guess.
