Claude is an Electron App because we’ve lost native (tonsky.me) programming

    I do like an electron app. This means most likely it’s gonna be a decent webapp. I like to use browsers as i can install plugins! Or modify with my custom CSS

    I think that’s just because electron has become the default “easiest way” to do any desktop program you want to propose.

    I think a fair share of the blame falls on UI kits trailing behind web tech in “ease of use” for new devs.

    When new devs want to go from web to desktop, they often just scramble to find whatever they’re familiar with to deliver a minimal working product. So they go for electron every time.

    If there was a framework as “easy to use” as electron but native, people would flock to it.
