Is Electron really so different in your experience than a PWA?
Personally, I always try to use a PWA when the app is otherwise offered via Electron.
If it’s going to depend on a browser engine, it may as well be the one I already have open and update regularly.
- dumbo-octopus 2y agoI’d prefer it to be one that the developers have specifically targeted and developed/tested against, especially if there’s any GPU involvement.
- egypturnash 2y agoI want my applications to live on my computer and be able to do things like say “this new update breaks my workflow, I am rolling back to the last good version until they get this shit fixed”. This has happened multiple times with Illustrator. Also they say "native" apps are coming which I am assuming means "actually talks to the OS properly instead of going through a web browser", I have loathed Electron apps ever since Evernote got rewritten as a pile of webshit.
