Aren't android and desktop clients using Electron? So I assume at least Web+Android+Desktop (or maybe + iOS) should share lots of code? Also, may I ask whether

  Android is not using Electron; it’s a completely separate codebase to the web app (hence the complaints about it in this thread which don’t apply to Web or Desktop). On the other hand, Web and Desktop is basically the same app. We dismissed Qt because it’s bad enough managing 3 separate apps without adding a 4th one too. Telegram’s UI is great, but it’s also tightly coupled to Telegram’s backend, which is not Matrix. It’s like saying “Word is a great word processor; I don’t understand why you can’t edit PDFs with it”
