That was the sentiment about wxWidgets and QT in 2006. Reality is, native platforms will always be a moving target.
QT in particular has come a long way and is used today for a lot of enterprise software, but it’s not the panacea that was once envisioned.

- TimTheTinker 6y agoIt’s totally possible to build accessibility into web apps, including Electron apps. Accessibility does matter. It’s a fundamental element of usability.
