This is true too. More and more hipster electron apps these days wallowing in RAM on our constrained systems. And we don't have a choice. I can't choose not to use MS Teams at work. And the web version can't do audio/video meetings on Mac.
- kyriakos 6y agoWeb version takes as much ram as desktop app. It's a ridiculously badly written piece of software.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoIndeed, I noticed that. One thing I don't understand: Microsoft does have the knowledge to make a lean Electron app. Look at VS Code... But somehow they don't bother applying their lessons learned to Teams :? Electron can be lean, but it must be difficult somehow otherwise every app would do it.
- kyriakos 6y agoVs code is the opposite of ms teams in performance. Scrolling up in teams takes ages. It's nearly impossible to look at chat history.
- MaxBarraclough 6y ago> Web version takes as much ram as desktop app They're essentially the same app; the desktop version uses Electron. There are a few desktop-only features but the desktop application is mostly powered by inefficient web technologies.
