    Anyone using Electron to build any greenfield app is a fucking moron, full stop.

    When you have to consume 300+Mb of memory just to display 15Kb of text, when the exact same thing can be done in native code for less than 2Mb of memory, “moron” is the kind and gentle word to use.

      Excuse me, but did you not see my fancy graphic and animation? And my cool autoplaying adverts? And the dickbar asking you to subscribe to my annoying newsletter?

      I don’t know what web you’re looking for, but it’s not the one I (and my many clients) design for. /s

      /s I’m not a web designer or coder. I only host plain html. Shut up. It’s sarcasm / satire done poorly.

      Just use Qt and you’re already cross-platform.

      Or if it has to be web, you can get crazy far with a 15 kB HTML document and possibly some native JS.
