Qt is actually pretty easy to work with. Really, though, I would prefer to use Electron. It would be great if they could find a way for multiple electron apps to share a runtime so it would save both memory and reduce the download size.
..like browser tabs? Obviously not the exact ui desired here, but an extension/bookmark would work, no?
Electron... It's always so upsetting to see a tray widget require hundreds of megabytes of RAM to run.
All of this could be done with standard C++ MFC and use literally no ram.

The only times I've considered writing an Electron app vs a web app (which is my day job) is when it would have benefitted from an offline-first and/or needed system resources like tray icons, interacting with other desktop apps, reading system-level stats, executing native code, etc.

Similar to http://gnomepomodoro.org/ Been using it on xfce alright.

What is a less resource intensive but similarly easy to use tool that would let you make desktop apps?
As much as it seemed like overkill to use Electron for it, it just made the most sense for me. Hopefully those faults with electron can be addressed.
