Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron
Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

What's going on with the Mac version repository?
Telegram's official website links to a repo from user overtake, but that hasn't been updated in six months, despite the app obviously getting many updates in that timeframe. The repo has a few pull requests—some open, some closed, but nothing closed in the last fix months.

Scrollbars Are Becoming a Problem
This one is made with Qt: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop I remembered this one.
But having checked clients for other platforms they are not made with Qt. You can check them all here: https://telegram.org/apps

There is a great feature in Telegram Mobile, that I really wish was in the Desktop version which I use daily.
p.s. i am also considering using c++, to try writing an extension of the source that implements the feature in a certain way, could you advise on how complex would this been?

[Q] Secret chat for Telegram desktop?
In secret chat, you can't take any screenshot which can't be happened if it's implemented on Desktop app. That's the reason Telegram hasn't implemented the feature on its desktop versions. But that notification thing should be considered I guess… Someone should open an issue regrading it on it's GitHub repo.
