- volkk 9y agoFirst time seeing this. What a cool tool
- mrmondo 9y agoI personally think that’s helping the problem of the infestation of poor performing JavaScript sites making their way onto the desktop, often they’re so bad it’s more sensible to open those sites in a Firefox / Safari window.
- oddlyaromatic 9y agoI guess it comes down to what the user prioritizes, but I think it's good to have the option of running something on the desktop if I feel like it.
- mrmondo 9y agoBut that’s no different to running it in Firefox or whatever, it’s not a desktop app - it’s just JavaScript wrapper that is essentially doing the same thing but giving you less control and generally higher memory usage.
- oddlyaromatic 9y agoSure. It's like driving to to the gym to run on a treadmill. But I'm not sure that other people doing something for themselves for their own reasons needs to be corrected because you or I would find it suboptimal for ourselves. If the person wants the thing, let them do the thing. What are we, the thing police?
- mosselman 9y agoFirefox does not have the WhatsApp logo, I cannot close and reopen a browser tab as easily as I can the nativefied app, etc. Of course it is different.
- meteor333 9y agoSuper helpful. This will help me ship it sooner rather than thinking electron or something.
- oddlyaromatic 9y agoI'd love to know how it goes, I haven't actually tried it yet. Not sure how one would go about "releasing" the exported file.
