Ignoring the general 'Electron seems a waste of resources' (with which I partially agree with) comments: Requires 'Ubuntu' or 'macOS'? I seem to know a lot of Electron based apps that run on other Linux distributions or - gasp - even Windows.
Clicking on the 'Download anyway' link brings up the GitHub release tab. With, among others, a file called 'Min-v1.6.3-win32-x64.zip'.
- Gaelan 9y agoPure speculation, but I bet it's a combination of: * Lack of a windows machine to test on * Forgetting to update the site when a Windows build became available.
- icebraining 9y ago> With, among others, a file called 'Min-v1.6.3-win32-x64.zip' "If it compiles, it is good; if it boots up, it is perfect"? Just because the build has a Windows target doesn't mean it's a supported platform.
- darklajid 9y agoThat ignores the "We target one random Linux distribution" thing and kinda doesn't address the point that Electron is cross-platform already. I would expect an Electron app to work where Electron works, but admit that I haven't targeted it. Any input on why that might not be the case would be appreciated.
- Kesty 9y agoElectron main selling point is being cross platform. Having it only Ubuntu/macOS seems counter-intuitive.
