Chrome, otherwise known as Electron.
It's not great, it's fucking terrible actually. But it's cross-platform, it gets shit done, and it's clearly good enough (relatively).
- shakow 4y agoThat's desktop only. We already have Qt playing in the same ballpark, and doing both better and worse depending how you look at it. Nice cross-smartphone-tablet-desktop however is a no-app's land.
- jitl 4y agoWebview works for this. Chrome / Electron for desktop, native Webview app on iOS and Android respectively. It’s not as good as fully native; but it does enable excellent code sharing as well as shipping new versions of your app as fast as you can deploy them. That’s how we build Notion anyway.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoWell, I’m not gonna get into a back and forth over this. Lots of “Sacred Cows and Third Rails.”[0] I am personally not comfortable, shipping “meh” to my end-users, but I’m also quite aware that my methodology is not a money-maker, so it’s probably just sour grapes, on my part.
