If it's in Electron, it's garbage.

    I was going to make some joke about how positrons are better but it seems there is actually a framework called Positron.

    @cafecortado Rule 34 of JavaScript: If it exists, there is a JS framework with that name.

    @kiki thanks for the reply, Tauri seemed better at first but I didn't tried electron yet, so this really saves me a lot of time!

    Necroing this one, but the perf gripes still hold up - Electron shipping an entire browser just to render a settings page is objectively silly, no defense there. "Go native" is easy advice when youre not the one maintaining three separate codebases on a deadline, though. The RAM tax is what it is, but at least the DX side doesnt have to hurt too - electron-shadcn-typescript wires up Electron + React + TS + Tailwind + shadcn with hot reload and multi-platform builds already sorted, so youre not also fighting the boilerplate on top of the bloat.
