- c0l0 8y agoOh $deity. If this is for real, we're all doomed.
- dman 8y agoFor the category of apps I work on, this will finally make the browser a real alternative. (I need access to fast local IO).
- devwastaken 8y agosandboxed file system access. People use electron because they need things like registry keys, reading/writing files from anywhere on the system, interaction with specific kernal functions, and tons of things browsers cannot give anywhere the same flexibility to without becoming a major vector for malware. Not to mention a lot of electron apps, like Spotify, use their own c++ libs, like Spotify json, because browser perf sucks. You cannot sandbox and have native access, full stop.
