gollark: Electron apps are bad because they ship an entire browser engine when everyone already has one or probably three.
gollark: > yes but 90% of people end up installing Discord anywayThey are silly. Eventually the web will reach API parity with desktop apps. It is inevitable.
gollark: Hmm. This "surge.sh" thing *does* seem very convenient. I should make osmarks.tk this convenient.
gollark: Yes, electron bad, but web applications sometimes good?
gollark: Although having actually-native desktop apps would be good. Or at least web-view ones instead of UTTERLY ACCURSED ELECTRON.
