They seem to be putting a lot of effort on React Native for Windows and Mac ( https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows ). If you don't want to go full Electron, I think React Native ticks a lot of boxes (cr

When distributed to end-users it could be an executable with node DLL/SO bundled that has no UI (or maybe a simple tray/menu bar icon with an Exit to terminate and a Show to open a local browser to /localhost:1337). When deve

I see projects like this pop up every once in a while and get abandoned. A simpler approach may be to just publish a basic web server as your app (express on top of node would do) that runs on the local machine on some random port and have

I'm not sure what the target audience is for this; you demo something running on a 5$ hobby-ist SBC that is not free / open source, not available for use as a demo / binary distribution and is only purchasable through contact

No mention of performance in the article; if you live on the server and can spare big bucks for compute, sure... go ahead and pay for your Java or C# runtimes. Rust has its applications, but the static analysis ecosystem for C++ has come a

Why the insistence on Tor? Just use a normal VPN. Tor exit nodes are limited in number, and the same IP probably ends up being used by thousands of people... I assume a lot of them use it for nefarious reasons so you just end up in the same

I think the author is confused or biased. Corporations cannot use corporate funds to make donations to political candidates. That's why PACs exist; and they are entirely funded by employees. I suspect that while a lot of its employees

All that reads like the ramblings of a frustrated (probably mentally broken down), extremely self-entitled, combative individual. He needs help, but not of the legal variety... of the psychological variety. I truly hope he seeks it out and

I'm surprised no one mentioned the threading situation in the comments. The main reason why you need a reverse proxy (like nginx) on top of your express app is because node.js is single-threaded. Yes, you can fork (which means a new pr

Wait, how does this work? Who pays for all that compute time in the cloud? What's the catch?

Most of the projects are straight forks with no additions, or puerile flatline dumps of boilerplate - generated structures with little to no meat. I don't want to put anyone down, he's obviously in a tough situation, but I maybe w

Have you looked at the GitHub profile? Don't want to be harsh, but it looks like he never really learned how to code either, which is kind-of sad. I'm not a stickler for education, but there's something to be said for at leas

I've read through the comments but no one pointed out the main reason people go with Electron: availability of JavaScript / HTML frameworks for... everything. Oh, you want a sortable editable grid with custom rendering: here, chos
