Earlier quoted context omitted.

In fairness, Linux GUI toolkits suck a lot. I was a professional Qt developer in a past life and while it stands head and shoulders above GTK, that’s really not saying much. I’ve often thought about making my own toolkit, but there’s so much that we forget about from things like focus to accessibility to text layout and rendering (much text has been rendered on why text rendering sucks). My hope is that Rust breathes…

Yup. Many people including myself are waiting for a viable Electron alternative to emerge, but until then Electron is leagues ahead of the rest. React Native is a missed opportunity for true cross-platform UI, but they chose not to support Linux. I'm keeping an eye on Tauri [1]. [1] https://tauri.studio/en/

What a scam. All this hype and it is another Electron app. Windows and Mac versions are native and yet Linux gets a version that uses 'Electron'. Yuck. Fortunately, to give us the illusion that it is 'fast' they need to mention that it uses 'Rust'. And?
