Are there any modern applications / examples built with Qt? This is the screenshot from the Wikipedia article:

I always see Qt mentioned, so I'm definitely not trying to discredit it. I just never seem to see common examples with it compared to something written in Electron.

This is the reason why I use dark mode now. Eye strain and saving battery I don't think about. Easier to read? Sure, because it's my preference. I even use lights behind my monitors to counteract the "flash" you get when you switch from a dark IDE to a white web browser. I don't like complete _darkness_, I just like the look.

Really depends on how you are building. If you're building a decent sized project with Webpack and production mode (with minifier stuff), then it might take a few minutes. Dev mode, shouldn't take a ton of time.
