Electron is awesome, badly coded apps just suck. Look at Voyager for Lemmy, it's great and it's just a web app.
- Electron apps are nice in some ways, but use a ton of memory
  
  I usually don't mind electron apps too much, but I do prefer native apps
- No, it's not nice. Looks good only on Windows where everything have unmaching look anyway.
  
  Lmao, need more title bars to match macOS' 90s aesthetic?
  
  Uh huh. Electron apps look good on Windows. Sure.
  
  No electron app ever looks good anywhere. They are consistent insofar that they look shit on all OS, equally. And alias their fonts wrong. And scale them wrong. And break accessibility.
- Voyager is made with Ionic. The difference with Electron is that in Ionic, trough Swift/Kotlin, shows a WebView from the System Browser (mobile only) while Electron “installs” Chrome each time (desktop only).
  
  WebApps are great, but Electron is just too much
