"Photino uses the OS’s built-in WebKit-based browser control for Windows, macOS and Linux."
So it has the same problems as the rest of the web when it comes to rendering issues. I know Electron gets bad press cause of memory hogging, but controlling the view is essentials so all users have the same experience.
- adkadskhj 6y agoI agree, ish. I had the same opinion as you, but as someone recently pointed out most of these things are hooked directly up to web portals anyway - of which already support all major browsers. I then realized that i too wanted pixel perfect behavior, but my Electron app was still going to be hooked up to a web API where i intended to support all browsers. So in a lot of cases i have to ask, why waste users memory? In one application of mine i have a reason, though. Bells and whistles; Electron has a lot of them. Eg i want a tray dropdown - Electron has it. I want a popup text input (center of screen), Electron has it. Etc. Tauri (and i assume Photino) are pretty attractive for most apps. But i feel like the argument of "But my pixel perfect!" loses water when so many apps are already supporting all the browsers we're discussing. Though, it does if you're a chrome-only shop. But luckily many aren't - as i use Firefox/Safari/etc on Slack & Co all the time.
