I was stuck unable to fill out a PDF I-864 for immigration because the required fields were non-editable. And opening the PDF in a PDF editor or Photoshop would require a password that was not available. So I had to create a PDF-to-JPG-to

I resonated with what seemed to be a portrayal of appreciation of daily life and work (even if it isn't glamorous or cushiony). The daily pause the main character makes as he leaves for work -- looking up at the sky, to be present and

Are you suggesting Electron is slow? What evidence do you have? There may be a +200ms start up time compared to a native application; is that so bad? Besides a bootup that is no longer than your browser's, everything else inside an Ele

I recently migrated a few of my Electron apps to Tauri -- was easy and fast in my case -- went down from 130mb installer to 3mb installer. Worth considering! https://github.com/whyboris/Simplest-File-Renamer <- 130m
