> Why the hell does the app check every 5min for updates? Part of it is just incompetence. Bootcamp dev is used to coding web apps where the code just gets to the client's machine every time (10 mb single page apps). When they transition to Electron, because it works with the same web tech they memorized, they see nothing wrong with doing these frequent updates. Part of that is why I don't hate the idea of App Stores on desktop to distribute programs; The store can handle checking for update once per day instead of every app implementing it's own logic.
