- k__ 8y agoWhat's the TCO difference between Qt and Electron?
- juliangoldsmith 8y agoHas anyone even measured TCO on Electron apps?
- azhenley 8y agoI've certainly considered it, especially since I found out that fman uses Qt and Python: https://www.qt.io/fman-built-with-qt https://www.qt.io/fman-built-with-qt From my initial tests with Qt, it isn't as convenient as Electron since I already have a fair amount of web dev experience, but maybe it will be worth it in the long run (and for the performance benefits).
- pknopf 8y agoDisclaimer: I'm the author. You can also use .NET with Qt. https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet https://github.com/qmlnet/qmlnet With this, you don't need to touch C++. It is still beta, but only because the API may change. It is very stable and has a large test suite.
- jtsiskin 8y agoQt is >$5,000 whereas Electron is free
- beojan 8y agoYour average Electron app has no need for a commercial Qt license. LGPL is just fine.
- verletx64 8y agoI understand that you feel that Electron isn’t worth optimising, and your answer offers up a good alternative to Electron. However, this is an interesting question in and of itself, and I think it’s worth hearing out the answers. Could be some interesting techniques to pick up and reapply elsewhere.
