Is Electron a temporary thing until Apple improves SwiftUI on macOS?
Interesting question from Jason Snell in episode 366 of the Upgrade podcast on Relay FM:
Is using Electron on macOS a temporary thing until Apple has improved SwiftUI on macOS?
If so, how long ...

5 years agoGreat list of very real examples of the least-common-denominator UX that is any cross-platform framework. Those apps look like that framework, not the native platform apps. The UX is always substandard.
At what point does the amount of code required to work around the framework limitations exceed the cost of just building a native app, let alone lost business?
My informal survey of coworkers who use 1P is that at least half will drop it over electron. Slack is using ~750MB of RAM at the moment, and Signal using another 450. 1P7 is using ~200.
That realization just made me drop one of those. The other I have to use for work. The third? Well, it has a lot of competitors.....
