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 consensus I could gather is either use playwright or use a workaround to solve it in the puppeteer layer. The root cause of the bug is a websocket size limitation on the CDP protocol for chromium.

If you use Sequalize, TypeORM or for MongoDB, we have Mongoose these types of ORM tools, then you are safe by default because these help us against the SQL query injection attacks by default.
Project mention: Are we making the best notion open source alternative? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-20Also has a self-hosted version however it’s a bit out of date with their SaaS product

Project mention: Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24Windows has caused us a lot of issues with Upscayl (https://upscayl.org).
I personally do not use Windows but most of our errors are reported by Windows users where sometimes path parsing is a problem or the drivers mess up vulkan configuration.
What does this bring that the Quasar framework doesn’t already? This sure looks like an ad for a barely preconfigured quasar template—but it’s impossible to tell.

Project mention: How I Used Electron and React to Create a Sweet UI for FFMPEG | dev.to | 2023-12-15For a swift and efficient setup, I began by cloning the Electron-React Boilerplate. This boilerplate provided a pre-configured combination of Electron and React, along with Redux and Webpack, setting a solid foundation for the project. This choice allowed me to focus on building the unique features of my application, leveraging the boilerplate's stable and community-tested framework.
And I was confusing it with https://notable.app/

One question I have is whether you guys are better than:
https://desktop.github.com/
This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git. In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it babies you through the process of committing code.)
