Desktop - Moving From Electron to Native to Future-Proof All Platforms

Development

The problem with electron is that it's really limited to the platforms it supports and it's almost impossible with reasonable effort to port it to anything else.

Porting electron is an immense effort, and it requires serious computing power to compile. Well - like chrome. But chrome is for all users of the OS, while Electron is usually bundled with the application because every application needs another version. This multiplies the effort.

Therefore more niche OS like OpenBSD are locked out by electron.

If you want to work with Qt, why you will not ask help from KDE community that works a lot of time in the Qt framework building apps and even DE for Linux?

I though you can talk with them about this.

Also Qt have a lot better and better every time, making it more usable, less memory consumption and it's improves the cross platfrom much way that it was 4 years ago.
