> Didn't Slack rewrite their app to be native and move off of Electron? What are you talking about? That has never happened. They posted this blog post [1] on July 22, 2019 and you probably misunderstood their point. They did not rewrite the application to build on native libraries, they simply redesigned the architecture of their UI logic to draw web components only when strictly necessary, sharing states between workspaces and stuff like that, but it is —as of today May 19, 2020— still 100% a web application running on top of Electron. They recently announced another visual rewrite [2] on March 18, 2020 which also resulted in the same web application running on top of Electron, no changes in that part whatsoever.
