Can someone explain to me why most design like apps are build in fucking electron. This is like the second time this week.

Me: *sees a super designy looking app*
Me: *Downloads and install*
Me: *Starts* * Slow startup*
Me: This has to be fucking electron again.
Me: *looks in resources folder* YES it is.

I'm not hating on electron. Its just that native apps are so much faster but way more ugly :P

BTW, apps were laverna and hyper

    smaller Eco system for native, thus probably less design resources.

    Wouldn't mind you hating on electron.
    Basically everything that uses it is an unsafe PoS.

    I wouldn't touch one app using it.

    Remember back when everything was being built in top of Eclipse?

    It's comfortable to use html/css for designing app ui. Otherwise developer must write his own ui renderer.
