The year is 2023. Every program on your computer is now an Electron app, running vulnerable out-of-date versions of Chromium and consuming 500MB of memory each
@nolan Do you think browsers are close to adding the missing native pieces to make electron unnecessary?
@d Absolutely: https://whatwebcando.today/ That's not to say there aren't missing pieces (e.g. we need true desktop PWAs to give webapps Cmd-Tab/Alt-Tab), but I also think the value of the web as "our install process is just clicking a link" can't be overstated. :)
