    In theory a less resource intensive program that should be more secure and have fewer bugs. Electron and React Native are large frameworks that abstract away a lot at the cost of bundling a web browser and significant code overhead into your program.

    I'm not optimistic they'll actually do it well but that's a separate topic.

    Why would it be more secure? Electron has a massive ecosystem with a good bug bounty program afaik.
