I don't need to download an Electron app to interact with physical hardware, full stop, WebUSB or not.
Is that where we're at now? That writing a small utility to configure a widget over serial in platform native tooling is beyond us?
- hot_gril 2y agoIn a cross-platform way, kinda yeah. Especially on the Mac side where OS updates always break everything.
- lxgr 2y agoYes, it's beyond many, and people are clearly both willing to write and grateful for easier alternatives. Why celebrate gatekeeping? And even then, just because I could write a small utility doesn't mean I will, 99% of the time. I think being able to easily benefit from others work is generally great.
- fragmede 2y agoThe problem isn't a widget in platform native tooling, the problem is there's only going to be one, and that platform is Windows 7 and nothing else (including newer modern versions of Windows).
