Jeff Smith@daringfireball as to why Electron this may explain it - Felix Rieseberg
matt sephton@sumisu3 @daringfireball interesting (it's enough to read the podcast synopsis)

Not *my* fucking Mac.

Olivier Roux (moose)@daringfireball the thing is: you wouldn’t give any person full access to your Mac. So why would you let an LLM do that?
Enrico@daringfireball wait, are you saying that liquid glass is better than electron? Because that’s deranged…
Over the last 10 years Apple and Microsoft have been hard at work proving that electron is the best way to build desktop apps, by making native APIs a constantly moving target and an awfully buggy mess. Are you surprised companies don’t want to deal with that bs?

Steven Op de beeck@daringfireball I hate Electron as much as the next guy. But as far as Electron apps go, Claude is good. It’s at least a hell of a lot nicer than ChatGPT. The way that app format answers, especially when dealing with code, is laughable.
