Yes, but with what price?
We (people outside of Microsoft, Apple and Google) cannot afford UIs nailed down to pixel grids and particular trends.
Years ago it was Skeumorphism, then it was flat UI as Metro, today people started speaking about Skeumorphism again. CSS is just a convenient tool to follow the trends.
And "yes" it "doesn’t mean you need electron" as there are other options :)
Take Sciter and forget about UI problems and "resource hogs" for years to come. HTML/CSS will be with us together with the Internet. And so are UI developers that can take care about it. And C++ developers in case you will need to fix something critical inside the Sciter.
- nickpsecurity 6y agoYou're taking a lot of crap here. I just wanted to chime in to say I thank you for trying to build something like Electron that's still lean and efficient. On top of it, I always use your licensing plans as a positive example in discussions about beneficial, but sustainable, licensing strategies. licensezero.com comes to mind. Keep up the good work.
