What if we made windows being transparent when being moved and resized again? Someone should propose that as an improvement for Electron. That way you can't see it struggle to resize itself.

Looks interesting: “If you ever find yourself asking ‘what is the analog to #Electron but for mobile apps?’ the answer is #Capacitor.”

recommendations? i want to dev a tiny win / linux / mac cross-platform gui app that simply adds some .ttf font files to an app's "skin" folder and edits a config .ini (xml) file. I know in win the files are in a protected folder under "Program Files". #qt #electron ?

    @joelanman @joelanman I have never used . I have read that sighted people say it’s somewhat sluggish. I also hate , but I’ve read that VS Code is the best behaved of just about any electron app out there.
    I haven’t used since 2010 so I haven’t had much of a need for VS Code on the .

    I hear a lot of people complaining about the prevalence of Electron. I get it, but at the same time, what's the alternative, especially for Linux?

    Few companies are going to develop a desktop application for Linux. They want write once, run everywhere. So what are the options? .NET? Java? Please no. Qt? Licensing nightmare.

    If not electron what you're probably going to get is a Windows only binary. I too would prefer a native binary but it's usually not realistic.

    @gizmomathboy @ovid @mcgrew It’s that every app is its own and runtime and process. They don’t use a shared engine like the apps likely did.

    If you want to see the difference find some Electron apps that are also available in form and run them all via the same browser app.
