		divan on Nov 20, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Blender 4.3 "electron bad" argument will always be valid. I wish people could "see" what actually happens in the app they running. Electron is essentially a hidden browser that runs a web app. It doesn't matter if it can or can not do 60fps. Installing yet another copy of the browser just to run that small web app is just wrong.

I assume most people who dislike Electron dislike Tauri too, even though it doesn't need to ship a browser.
