This is yet another example of the advantages of native apps on the Mac platform, part of why Mac users get so upset about hogs like Slack. App Nap has been on the Mac platform for nearly 10 years.
- w-m 5y agoI’m curious why all the Electron apps fail at napping. As per the linked Apple documentation, there’s no need to opt in or call an API or anything, the app is simply required not to be constantly redrawing the window. Is this where they fail, with gifs and blinking cursors? Can’t be that simple, right, or somebody would have fixed it?

There's this: https://codereview.chromium.org/2914913002/ https://codereview.chromium.org/2914913002/ And I do know that in general, Chrome is perceived as a resource hog on the Mac, at the expense of great performance. I'm guessing it hasn't been made easy.
