I wonder why some developers using Electron decide to release an non-cross-platform application. Isn't that the purpose of Electron? To create cross-platform applications using web technologies? Otherwise, why not build it with Obj-C or Swift and get advantage of the native libraries?

#12So is it Mac only?
It's currently Mac only.
App Store only too. God I hate the way the Mac app store wants my password even for free apps. I've got to switch to my browser, enter my nice long lastpass and copy and paste it into the app.
I've never got the non-browser lastpass working.

I despise the fact that you need a valid credit card number on file to download or even update free apps.

Do the native libraries really provide that much? Is it really that hard to implement a scrolling list of images these days, or a toggle button?

#15Am I the only one who almost threw up in my mouth when he dropped that icon and got a wall of text? SVG, le sigh...

#16Is this pronounced S-V-Jesus?
I'm from Sweden and I pronounce it S-V-Gsus. According to google it sure sounds funny ;) https://translate.google.com/#en/en/svgsus

#17Great. How to clean up a whole set of SVGs?

I assumed it was ess-vee-gee-suhs ("S-V-Jesus"), too. But your pronunciation -- does it match google's (S-V-G-S-U-S)?
I think we need an .au file in the distribution with you saying "Hi this is Stonebranch and I pronounce SVGsus as 'SVGsus'".

Two unrelated questions. Native libraries would — at least — make the application faster, and considering this is an image-related program I don't want to imagine how slow it is being rendered via a hard webview instead of a light one powered by a native framework like Cocoa. On the other hand, if it is difficult to implement an scrolling list of images and a toggle button using either Objc or Swift, that is something I don't know because I have limited experience with those languages, but if you take the time to build a non-cross-platform application, why not use native libraries?
If they are planning to package this program for Windows, Linux, Others then good, nice release, but I would still criticize because they are using a technology that is supposed to be a tool to build cross-platform applications from the beginning, if they already have the HTML / JavaScript code for this, what is stopping them from packaging the Windows version for example? I don't see anything in the feature list that requires Mac specific hardware / tools.
