Like why does a communication app need to take up 1GB of my RAM??? Look at telegram desktop for example. It’s written in QT and it has a very low RAM usage.

the most infuriating aspect of electron, is is that multi-billion (and even multi-trillion) dollar corporations think it’s ok practice to release desktop clients using electron, like wtf, each one of them can hire ten teams to build ten completely new desktop toolkits, let alone just design their applications to use native system tools 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I hate electron with a passion. Mandatory articles:

• Electron is flash for the desktop
• The website obesity crisis

Oh yeah, most of the time are just webapps presented as a full app in a store. There are good apps out there, but most of what you find are a waste of time, space, and resources.
