The larger point is ease of use
- fouric 6y agoFine, "What does Electron offer in terms of easy portability that SDL2 doesn't have?"
- opheliate 6y agoAccessibility would be my immediate thought, although I'm not massively experienced in terms of GUI programming, so I could be off the mark here. With something like SDL2, I would have to interface with each operating system's accessibility API directly, in such a way that's not easily portable, unless I bring in a separate library. Even something like GTK has this problem on platforms other than Linux. With Electron, I know that my program will be accessible wherever Chromium's rendering of HTML is accessible, which is a lot more places than anything I'm going to be able to bodge together.
