electron is nothing new, we did this with tomcat + jvm + stripped browsers back in the late 90s. It sucked then and it sucks now and the only reason to do it is if you absolutely, positively must have a web AND a desktop app and you need to do the desktop one as cheaply as humanly possible. Otherwise there's lots of cross-platform ui toolkits that aren't loving javascript+dom. in conclusion, git sucks, use svn.

And I don't care about consistency. And if web apps have shown us anything at all, it's that customers don't either. They just want a nice UI that performs well and doesn't crap its pants all the time.

literally every webapp in existence has it's own OK button and the combo boxes all act differently and there's zero people who give a poo poo.

JewKiller 3000 posted:ok cool, go ahead and hire 5 anroid devs and 5 ios devs and 10 desktop browser devs, and pay out 5 million a year in salary, instead of having a single team of 5 build out the frontend for all platforms. let me know how hard your vp laughs in your face you need two ui codebases, one in some desktop crossplatform language like wx, swing or qt, and one in one of the mobile ones, like cordova or whatever the other one is I can't remember. or, like I say, make a lovely loving app on the desktop and a bullshit webview client on mobile (which you'll likely shovel through cordova anyway because if you're at this stage why the gently caress not). The choices are, obviously, always about money. But don't give me this "hire 20 devs" bullshit because lmao.
