When they said native, they actually just meant local.
- deaddodo 3y agoNo, they didn't. Unless you can Explain how: ./Electron.app Is any more local than: php ./MyApp.phar Especially considering the former spins up an entire browser + PHP server instance, while the latter runs the code directly.
- johannes1234321 3y agoWhat is more "native" about the former?
- deaddodo 3y agoNothing. In fact, it's less native (by most definitions, given it's running in a sandboxed environment). That's the whole point of this thread. What's more native? Running a Python app that uses PyQT, or running a single purpose web browser in a window that calls a sandboxed+bundled Python server and renders HTML widgets? In addition, OP was talking about locality. In both of the aforementioned examples, they're equally localized (both executing on the machine they're loaded on).
