Despite the hate that it gets, Electron is still the best imo. Every other Electron-lite solution I've tried all end up with at least one key but obscure feature removed and you either end up rewriting to Electron or throw together some jank or abandoned 3rd party package.
Electron is bloated AF but it's the complete package that gets the job done from start to finish
- atat7024 6y agoOkay, so PWAs, then? Microsoft is pushing progressive web apps, now. I say we lean into it while we can. Might be our only shot.
- mikewhy 6y agoMicrosoft is building better support for PWAs into Windows. Linux is still a mixed bag, as it will depend on your DE / toolkit (lest all users be expected to install a Chrome variant). Apple will probably continue to lag behind since they will cut into app store revenue. I wish PWAs were better supported everywhere, but we're not there yet and one of the holdouts could be quite the doozy to topple. And that's without taking into consideration the things are are possible right now with Electron that still need broader support WRT web standards (serial, bluetooth, filesystem access).
