The point of the bloat is that web is by far the easiest way to create a cross platform UI. It’s far from ideal but that’s the world we live in.

- OrangeMusic 3y agoIf it's a question of UI only, Electron would be less bloated than a webserver? Arguably?
- loudambiance 3y agoIn a hypothetical organization where you have hundreds of more users needing to perform these tasks. Is it better to push and maintain software on hundreds of computers, or one server, that is probably multiple use to begin with. Containers are far easier than maintaining software across hundreds of devices.
- niutech 3y agoNo, there are easier and more lightweight ways to create a cross-platform UI than to write HTML/CSS/JS: Tkinter, wxPython, PySide6, MiniGUI, Dear ImGui, Nuklear, React Native.
- dragonwriter 3y agoHaving used most of those at lrast trivially. i'd have to say that HTML/CSS/JS abd frameworks on top of that are in par with the easiest of those for nontrivial cross-platform UIs, though the others may have other advantages.
