pgAdmin 4 is not an electron app. It is a real web app, written in Python and Flask, and Qt browser engine bundled together.
- kuschku 6y agoQt's browser engine is the Chromium Embedded Framework, Electron is the Chromium Embedded Framework. Sure, the backend is different, but in a thread about UI issues, it's the same.
- vetinari 6y agoThe UI issues in pgadmin4 are caused exactly because it opens web pages from relatively slow local web server, synchronously. Electron/CEF can be used to make a decently (i.e. usable) performing SQL client app (see Azure Data Studio). But not in a way that pgadmin4 did it.
