Electrons Are Fast, So Can Be Electron – How to Optimize Electron App Performance
If we want it fast, Node-API looks like a perfect solution. A library written in C/C++ must be fast. If you prefer to use C++ over C, the node-addon-api can help. This is probably one of the best solutions available, especially since it is officially supported by the Node.js team. It’s super stable once it is built, but it can be painful during development. Errors are often far from easy to understand, so if you are no expert in C, it might kick your ass very easily.

Calling C++ from nodejs
Did a little digging, napi is header file in an npm package that's supposed to help you build C++ addons, node_api is node's actual API. https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api you might have already been using this. The examples have enough code that it shouldn't be too bad to get started

Does anyone know why calling native functions (with c++ addons) is so slow, and how could I improve? Links for resources welcome
Looks like this is known: https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/issues/790

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.

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.
