I think the Franz platform has the weirdest bug I have ever seen on frontend. For the unknowings, Franz is basically a wrapper for chrome instances that lets you gather up all your teams, slacks, emails and the like into a single desktop application (and it eats your memory like the memory monster).

Anyways, when I type a message somewhere, the input will sometimes lose focus and focus on another input in another chrome instance. So for example, I type a message on slack, the input loses focus (which I don't immediately notice) and the rest of the message is typed out in teams instead.

    Sounds like it's made with electron cancer.

    Oh... That's way too risky. Imagine the wars that could be declared following the wrong message being sent to the wrong person...

    @djsumdog Worse, it's an electron based program that brings all the other electron apps together.

    @djsumdog It literally wraps multiple chromium instances. It's Electron².

    how is it that nwjs is like a tenth the weight (ram) of an electron instance, 400% easier and saner for users to install and configure, and yet dumbasses are still using fucking *electron*?

    @Wisecrack A tenth sounds more like Qt to me, but the answer is of course medium articles + possibly more corporate backing for electron.
