Seeing Oni (codebase archived), vim, and Visual Studio Code in a row tells me that this list needs an editorial direction.
Because a list of cross-platform, *nix or electron apps in any state of release doesn’t mean much.
- skohan 5y agoIt depends who the audience is. If this is about getting mac users interested in open-source, the accessibility of *nix tools on the platform is not a bad inclusion.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThis is pretty much par for the course with “awesome” lists on GitHub. They’re basically an unopinionated aggregation of what either they author found or contributed by PR.
- hrbf 5y agoExactly why at a list I co-maintain I strongly suggested to exclude Electron apps and have a clear direction. This move draws objection to this day. For me, there’s value in a curated selection, not a collection of essentially everything there is. Sadly, the “awesome” part of the lists all too often loses its meaning, because everyone interprets it differently. Anything that’s opinionated cannot at the same time be public without washing out.
- skinnymuch 5y agoWhat about having electron apps in a separate category?
- Griffinsauce 5y agoDoes an app being cross-platform diminish its value to the user?
