Telegram-web-z VS Electron

There are also different urls for these apps as well: https://webk.telegram.org/ and https://webz.telegram.org/

I agree it is partly idiotic complaining though there is some truth to it.

Firstly IQ has declined. There is a widespread lie that everyone can be developer if they only try hard enough. Hence you get more noisy signals deciding over technological progress.

Secondly, people use complexity to show off. This comes and goes as very high complexity makes the simple stuff look smart again (see for example the Java framework diversification back when Java was atrocious, but later pure Java became fashionable again once the language had improved ).

Thirdly, one can build performant and impressive stuff from the layers and layers of complexity such as modern JS frameworks. See for example the latest Telegram web client.[1] So ultimately it is more about the IQ and skill of the programmer and less about the particular Turing-complete language/framework used, because whichever route you take, ultimately you have to face complexity and all the different events, states and exceptions.

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.

It does, see [0]. Fun fact: Signal desktop, which uses Electron under the hood, is running without sandbox on Linux [1][2].

Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
