In a very meta twist of fate, I just heard about this article today on a podcast, and then realized Aaron (from the podcast) is the OP! If anyone wants to get some advice on how to use Twitter like a human being I recommend a listen. It was a great convo: https://share.transistor.fm/s/c854b56e https://share.transistor.fm/s/c854b56e In the spirit of the post, a thing I did last year is build a minimal video editor (https://getrecut.com https://getrecut.com) focused almost exclusively on cutting out silence. And then lately I’ve been building a cross-platform version of it with Rust and Electron. ‘Round here a lot of people dislike Electron, and I kinda count myself among that crowd, so it’s been a fun challenge to build an app like this that defies the idea that Electron apps have to be slow. Turns out you can get a lot of performance out of it if you write most of the heavy lifting in native code, pay attention to the algorithms, make things cache-friendly, keep an eye on the profiling and optimize as you go. So far the Electron app is on par with or faster than the native Mac app, which is exciting to see! Hopefully I’ll have something out in the next month or two.
