> I have a hard time understanding why platforms like electron are so popular. For an example. I'm writing a FOSS app mainly for myself, but i am publishing it for everyone of course. I want to support Browsers, but also "Apps" in OSs. I'm on Linux, MacOS, Windows and iOS every day. I do not, by a large margin, have the time to write my application in 3 or 4 different native UI toolkits. Furthermore, my application has a lot of text editing and rendering functionality, one i'd have to then reinvent in various UI toolkits, unless i used something that crossed all OSs above perfectly. Finally, my app has WASM plugins, similar to Obsidian.md, to allow the user to easily extend the application. All together i will not, by a large margin, use anything Native. I barely have enough time _(don't, honestly lol)_ to write the app once - let alone supporting all the above platforms. I'm targeting the web. As an aside, i'm writing this in 100% Rust lol. No JS, because i prefer Rust.
