Electron is technically not native, that is correct. We have never hidden the fact that we use Electron.

I mean your opening paragraph straight-up lies when you describe your product as a native application.

You aren't up front about the tech details of your product, despite posting on one of the most technical sites around... Not a good look.

Then you go on to claim you wanted to build a desktop app, and then you list React of all things. LMAO.

I'm sure your product is great but you need to refine your pitch. You come off as disingenuous at best while you're asking your clients to trust you with their cryptocurrency, in a market segment that's already rife with fraud and scams.

Anyways, best of luck with the launch.

We are very upfront about our tech stack. It is clearly stated in my post.

Regarding whether electron apps are desktop apps or not, we can go on and on about it. I do understand the demerits of Electron technically but I also see merits in using it for startups like ours where we can quickly build and test with users.

Regarding trusting with users' cryptocurrencies, we don't hold any cryptocurrencies. They remain on the exchanges.

Why pitch your app as "native" to a tech-savvy crowd then when it's actually not?
