Discord is going to shit
Still trash support on Linux too. We still cannot stream without frame rate issues and cannot stream audio with our video without piping through our mics. (the community fixed this for you: link)
-
Another new feature, another button placed on the wrong place so we accidentally click them all the time...
SteamDeck and Linux users cannot stream properly (constant frame rate issues and absolutely no audio streaming). Its been FIXED by the community for years now (https://github.com/discord/electron/pull/22) but they just don't want to do it I guess?? If you are going to support the platform, SUPPORT THE PLATFORM. I'm not going to give you money for a product that doesn't work.

Discord's framework is dangerously old and no longer receives security patches
There is this https://github.com/discord/electron/tree/17-x-y from over half a year ago

Krisp is coming to Discord on Linux!
But my golly gosh goodness me would I throw them a party in their honor if they would just update their 2 year out of date builtin shipped electron version that prevents all the progress we've made in the past few years from being at all relevant to their client.
- RCE Vulnerability found in Electron, affects Discord, Teams, and more

Zoom can now (as of version 5.11.0) share screen on Wayland
You can see Discord's version of Electron on GitHub: This branch is 14 commits ahead, 2140 commits behind electron:main

A Letter to Discord for not Supporting the Linux Desktop
The article from your quick google share says that you should use getUserMedia to capture the screen using Electron. Not only does Discord's client not use this, they even go as far as to disable it from their electron fork https://github.com/discord/electron/commit/e763956140aa6bf78f02202ab4df1e942ce672ae
-
One of my biggest hopes for the steamdeck is that it prompts Discord to fix their shit
They even forcefully disabled support for it in their version of electron, so there isn't even a way to use it via a betterdiscord plugin
-
Sharing screens with sound is still not supported in Discord for Linux, and it is the only reason I dual-boot Windows. Please upvote the feature request!
The Discord Desktop app uses Electron and their Electron fork's source code is available on Github. If you take a look at their repo you'll see that one of the patches they apply is this one https://github.com/discord/electron/commit/ca8c921ed35c741acae57ea32c340f1eaf150044 that disables getUserMedia.

Release Radar • February 2024 Edition
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.

The IDEs we had 30 years ago and we lost

Design Systems with Web Components
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.

How I got Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working with Figma on Fedora 39.
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.

Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
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.

Capturing at Speed of Thought
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.
