That's all very well known. The fact remains that it's just too easy to write slow and resource hog apps (even when you really don't intend to) using web technologies. There are just countless examples. I think everyone can tell the difference when they run an Electron app or a native app.
The only exception of late seems to be Notion Calendar (used to be Cron). It's an Electron app but runs pretty smoothly.
- fauigerzigerk 3y agoI think given a certain limited amount of resouces, creating a single web based app will often result in far higher quality than spreading the same resources across four different native apps.
- szasamasa 3y agoI agree that web is currently 99% terrible But I blame web "designers" not web tech because it has become so powerful on so many levels my favourite examples are: - V8 performance (but gecko and webkit engineers are great too) - webassembly - modular modern js - offline websites with service worker caching (I mean I see practically 0 websites making use of it... you download an asset, you cache it, even offline available... how many news sites let you read offline?) - web crypto - 100s of others https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/fugu-showcase https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/fugu-showcase
