BrianKrebs@jerry thank god they have a browser version, because the client is a pile of bloated garbage.
James Booker@briankrebs @jerry but isn't that basically the case with all node/js/ts apps? It's all the same code right? The difference being the client is basically shipping chromium, whereas with the web version it doesn't need to
Either way everything is a massive bloated mess now

The desktop apps ship some native code, which used to make a big difference for video conferencing (before browsers improved that feature set).
I've used the native apps on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS and it constantly amazes me how much worse the Windows one is than all of the others. The iOS and Android ones have mostly native UIs. The macOS one is mostly the same JavaScript but manages to use far less CPU than the Windows one.
