    people who like fast apps should care because like 99% of current software developers are building electron apps instead of giving us something that actually lets your high end computer behave like a high end computer.

    the only modern chat application that doesn’t run electron today is Telegram.

    the only cloud note taking app that doesn’t run electron is …uh. doesn’t even exist.
