How does this compare to Tauri ?

Edit: it looks like it leverages its own Webkit for the frontend, but then how is this more efficient than Electron ?

How does Krita compare to Gimp at this point?

For a second I thought this is a WebAssembly app :)

I'm wondering what's the position of Amazon Lightsail in all of this ?

Is it exempted?

Re:Electron is flash for the desktop (2016) on Tuesday April 11, 2017 @10:15AM (#14087937)
That is why I do not use Slack for Desktop, and just keep a pinned tab of Slack open almost all the time. I also tend to reduce my usage of any Electron-based app because I want to better make use of my laptop resources in my development workflow requirements.

Re:HTTP throughput regression from Go 1.7.5 to 1.8 on Wednesday February 08, 2017 @06:16AM (#13597405)
