Your logic... makes no sense, I'm sorry. WKWebview would be just as usable.
Furthermore, running an entire extra instance of Chrome for a menubar app when you could simply use the built-in Webkit instance is really not cool.
- edanchenkov 9y agoNo worries :) What does exactly makes no sense? Using WKWebview would be much more optimal, it is clear. But I stated specifically that I wanted to try electron. I didn't try to make it perfect. And again, if using chrome instead of WKWebview, does not make sense. Then for what kind of applications would you pick Electron? And how do you measure the line where choosing electron is an overkill that takes to much resources?
- Klonoar 9y agoYou might pick Electron if this was something that'd run on every platform, but this is macOS specific, so using Electron instead of WKWebView just seems really lazy at the cost of system resources for the end user.
