As far as I can tell, they have reimplemented the electron api in Rust to make use of native web views removing the chromium dependency.
I agree it’s confusing and not clear on the homepage or from the hacker news title. I was expecting something like an electron framework using servo.
- buu700 5y agoI would be much more interested in a Gecko/Servo alternative to Electron than a native webview alternative. Not that I don't also acknowledge the need for that, but my application is dramatically faster in Firefox than Chrome, yet we're stuck packaging a suboptimal experience in the desktop app because Chromium is our only option.
