Its really a bad issue we have here with us. Electron apps are piling up like crazy. Every arch update was like 1+ gb for me. I shifted to all terminal, all web as of now.
I am waiting for https://sciter.com https://sciter.com to go open source in the upcoming months. We can sigh in relief. Also, why aren't more apps created using https://github.com/webview/webview https://github.com/webview/webview instead of electron. Windows support is not that bad you know.
- cweagans 6y agoWait, sciter is going open source?? I thought the kickstarter to make it happen didn't reach the funding goal, so they weren't going to do it?
- himujjal 6y agoI am not very sure a single man can fight against Google/Apple/Mozilla/Microsoft(Github) etc who use and develop Chromium based softwares. He has to take the help of community otherwise the project is dead. I think c-smile has got the thing late TBH. Going open source before Electron (at least on Linux) would have given him a lot of leverage over Electron. But its ultimately his product, his life.
- Conlectus 6y agoWebview looks like an interesting project. I feel lost people's complaints with Electron apps from from memory usage / JavaScript performance though, which it doesn't look like it would improve significantly.
- himujjal 6y agoWebview is okay for most apps to be honest. Performance isn't that snappy, but for many apps like Markdown readers and stuff, its great. Now I do support Electron that push web technologies to the limit. e.g. Signal, Skype, VS Code etc.
