Slack runs like shit on my pc. I’ve not been able to answer a call this week: seems to freeze up for the length most people want to dial when there is an incoming call. I hope OP will optimise for performance when using electron.
OP: Until you are in the position where your software is forced on people by the pointy-haired managers (like Slack or Jira for example) you’ll need a better performing app or people will give up.
Coders especially; we don’t like waiting and emptying our L1 cache to context switch to troubleshooting a comms tool.

My only ask is for folks to try the product and judge its performance (or lack thereof) on its own merits, regardless of presumptions based on our use of Electron. We have thousands of daily active users that continue to use the product happily.
- quickthrower2 5y agoYep, I’m not saying electron means slow but I think it takes skill to keep any app fast especially on the web stack. Glad this is a focus for you! With the work from home boom you may be often running on lower spec machines than the developers work pc that they are remotely connecting to.
- jsherwani 5y agoYou’re absolutely right, and we do need to do a better job for lower spec machines. Lots of work left to be done, for sure!
- habibur 5y agoIt's not about lower spec machines. It's more about using far less resources on very much capable machines, and leave the other resources for other processes, as long as there is a way of doing so.
