I think you're being overly pedantic by focusing on the distinction between hybrid and native apps. As far as most users are concerned, if it's installed on their computer, /feels/ like a real app and is solving problems they care about, they couldn't care less whether it's built using web technologies or not.
- amargautam 5y agoThank you. There you go!!
- Mike86534 5y agoElectron is not native. Stop calling it native.
- Mike86534 5y agoIt's not pedantic. It's a basic software engineering fact. Electron is not native. This is not even debatable.
- na85 5y agoWhether users care or not is a straw man. React running in a headless instance of chrome is a webapp, plain and simple.
- krageon 5y ago> overly pedantic Categorising what can charitably be called a repackaged website as native or high performance is quite simply lying. It is entirely not the case that it is so and therefore it's neither pedantic nor overly so.
- snarkypixel 5y ago> Categorising what can charitably be called a repackaged website as native or high performance is quite simply lying Some hybrid apps are "repackaged website", but others are built to be high performance desktop apps. For instance, I wouldn't call vscode or slack "repackaged websites" even though they're built using Electron & web technologies.
