Isn't the Dropbox desktop app Electron crap these days? It's certainly not the pleasant experience it used to be.

Plus what you're talking about there is the opposite of what I'm suggesting, you wrote 2 UIs with a shared C++ logic, I'm suggesting two native platform layers with hosted webviews.

Sadly I agree. However the blog post I linked describes their mobile strategy. Sorry about the confusion.

FWIW The desktop app now uses the strategy you suggest: native with many hosted webviews.

Sorry, skim read and missed that! See above comment re Dropbox desktop using your approach though.
