@typst
I've been suspecting that something faster and "easier" than #LaTeX (no hard feelings: TeX is enormously old and has lasted really long!) must be possible -- thank you for confirming that.

I get the utility of web-based collaboration, but ... I really really want a desktop GUI because sending each button press across half the world is *so wasteful*, not to mention privacy issues. The only maintained desktop app costs money, looks spartan and seems to use #Electron 🙄

... that is, on monitor 2 I can resize the app window, max/min, click on tabs, and close the app. On monitor 1, I can't.

If I unplug my laptop from the 2nd monitor, apps work normally. The symptoms appear to be that #Electron can't detect the mouse if it's in the "wrong" window.

Ideas where to look?

I like Theo's take on #Electron in:

youtube.com/watch?v=WdmfFmwsGD

Pretty much all his views and opinions are sound, and I agree. Sure there are many really crap uses of it, but that is not Electron's fault.

I also agree about that the risk is #Chromium gets stronger as the defacto web-standard, controlled largely by one company. But that isn't Electron's fault either.

The lack of alternative browser engines are, and currently #Mozilla is screwing up the only real alternative there is today.

The Blink engine is being used in a lot of places. If I'm not mistaken this is also the engine used in .

WebKit in itself can be found everywhere in the open source world, but it is also maintained by .

But what about ? The former Mozilla project turned project based on . There is no Servo web browser in the wild so far, that I know of.

But in essence, thems the only 3:
1. Blink
2. WebKit
3. Servo
4. Gecko (but... )

🚀🛰️ Le lancement prévu ce soir d'une fusée #Electron et de 5 satellites #KineisIoT a été reporté en raison d'une "COLA" (Collision On Launch Avoidance/Assessment) selon Rocket Lab. La trajectoire du lanceur se trouvait sur celle d'un autre engin spatial.
Avec l'accroissement des objets en orbite basse, cela risque de devenir de plus en plus compliqué pour les lancements à heure fixe (ou fenêtre instantanée)

Enjoyed this piece by Felix Rieseberg about Electron and things people get wrong about it. As someone who isn't a fan of Electron it's important to address some of the criticism of Electron apps and how web technology is not lesser than more native code.

My only argument against the success of Electron is I don't think it has anything to do with quality. I think Electron succeeded because it was the cheapest option for companies to ship their apps to multiple platforms, even if the experience was far inferior.

When a company ships an Electron app, they're saying "we don't care if this is a good experience, we think it's a good enough experience to justify the cheaper development process".

Felix Rieseberg · Things people get wrong about ElectronFrom $25,000 Bloomberg Terminals to SpaceX spaceship controls, web tech is powering systems you'd never expect. Many desktop apps are built with Electron. Why build with web tech — and why bundle parts of Chromium to do so?
