Worse, they don't get the usual benefit of C++ clients being lean and resource-friendly because they now ship with an embedded QT Webbrowser.

It works just fine with Nextcloud as server and has less bloat than the Nextcloud-branded client. https://github.com/owncloud/client/releases/tag/v2.5.1 https://github.com/owncloud/client/releases/tag/v2.5.1 Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers of the the ownCloud desktop client.

- bayesian_horse 8y agoWhile there is certainly a point about electron apps wasting resources, an electron app would be a lot more maintainable and the GUI could be improved a lot. For example it's impossible to know which errors are actually a problem, and if synchronization was successful or aborted. Some of the progress information is in a tooltip which changes a couple of times per second.
