Electron VS React

Repository: Electron

Electron GitHub Repository

The team at Electron have been faithfully shipping new releases almost every single month. I think they had Christmas off 🤔. This popular framework has developers writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

VS Code has been crashing at launch in Wayland since more than eight months ago:

So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

In reality, independence isn't always crucial. Many open-source standards in web development, like React, are not Apache projects and are heavily directed by their creators, such as Meta. However, a web framework like React isn't responsible for the interoperability of web applications. Instead, long-standing standards like REST and HTTP serve as the glue that connects web applications across various backend languages, frontend frameworks, and more.

Creating a clone of the YouTube homepage can be both enjoyable and helpful for enhancing your front-end development skills. This project offers a chance to work on a familiar design while getting practical experience with commonly used tools like Tailwind CSS and React.js. It also helps you understand how modern web applications are structured and styled.

See the releases section of the React codebase, and see how many reactions each release note has!

You know you can just check before making these claims?

> In fact, for years, react didn't even tell in the doc you could use it without a transpiler so people had to learn a whole build chain before even getting to the hello world.

React's original documentation site from June of 2013 (when React was first introduced):

https://web.archive.org/web/20130607085014/http://facebook.g...

Feel free to click around that original documentation site.

Here's the README.md from the commit at the same time:

> You'll notice that we used an XML-like syntax; we call it JSX. JSX is not required to use React, but it makes code more readable, and writing it feels like writing HTML. A simple transform is included with React that allows converting JSX into native JavaScript for browsers to digest.

At this point I would kindly ask you to go away.
