Tauri and neutralino also do that?
Comment on Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app
ByGourou@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoIt run fine on my 7 years old phone. Sure, native would be better, but electron mean they can make the website, the windows app and the android app all at one. So it’s worth it. Everyone on Lemmy is a programmer, so you should know how hard it is to support multiple version of a service with as much active developpement as discord.

The point of Tauri and Neutralino is to do what Electron does without needing to bundle a whole, isolated chrome browser to make it pretend it is a native app

I didn’t know about that, sorry I missed it in you original comment. Then maybe theses frameworks are too young or have some kind of limitation, or just discord did not switch yet, but I hope they do. I know optimisation is not important for most company but if the switch is free they should do it.

They would have to change some parts that interact with the OS. It’s probably not a big investment (for a company like Discord) but there are few reasons to do so, it won’t increase users (by much) and doesn’t affect revenue.

It still increase user experience so they would do it if it was easy. I definitly would like so.
Except if we go full conspiracy theory and maybe they don’t want poor people that won’t buy nitro on the platform, it’s possible.
