Electron 'apps' do not have readable source. More often than not they pull down their source dynamically at run time. So it can and often does, change every time you run the program.
- scrollaway 8y agoWhat of it? It's still very readable. Open an inspector once in a while. Even the most minified and obfuscated JavaScript pales in comparison to most non-C# native apps, and that's without accounting for the amount of debug tooling usually left over in there. It sounds to me, and other commenters, that you simply are misremembering the past and ignoring current trends that have nothing to do with electron.
- thosakwe 8y agoThat’s definitely something that happens in non-Electron apps, though. Not to mention the fact that Electron apps just bundle an archive containing the app sources (minified or not), whereas you’re not necessarily going to be able to read the source code of a C++ app running on your system.
