Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns - Reddthat

>Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

The one thing Apple has done an amazing job of over the years is providing a solid, clean, common application framework for all of their systems.

They’ve fucked it up recently, but basically, 90% of the time you’d get the same consistent interface design across all apps, with common design language and iconography and accessibility features. They aggressively deprecate so you have to keep that $100 dev fee rolling, but the experience has been good for the the better part of 20 years (post carbon & X11, pre-liquid ass, the cocoa years).

If everything is a vibe-coded web app then everything is going to look like different, feel like shit to use, and perform like shit.

iOS doesn’t even have a universal back button, every app has their own way of implementing it.

What is it with Android users’ obsession with the back button? Who actually cares? Why would I want some button that goes back to the wrong app for some reason?

Tell me you haven’t used a back button without telling me.

To TLDR you pretend the back button on android is the back button on your mouse, because it is. Does it seem useful yet?

Back button on a mouse? I use a Trackpad. If I wanted to spend all day slowly navigating the UI click by click I might go back to a mouse.

It takes you back to the previous view in the stack. If that is a different app, then yes, it will do that, and that is the correct behaviour, same as when web browsing.

Right, why would you need a physical hardware button to go back to the last app? It’s treating the entire OS like a single tab in a web browser.
