Why wouldn't people want to run them in a browser? Running an Electron app is literally just running them in a browser, it's just that the browser is disguised as not a browser.

It's unnecessary bloat. They're cross-platform because I hey are literally just webapps masquerading as actual programs.

    Electron is a problem in the sense that it's completely unnecessary - just run a website and leave it at that. Who wants to install a bunch of useless chrome instances pretending to be other programs? If you want to make a program, make a program. If you want to make a website, make a website. Simple

    The JS in your electronic bloat could be just as vibes as the code in your standalone app, too.

    I'm torn here because I didn't know what's worse... Electron shit or AI shit.

    On the plus side, the AI shit will at least be a proper application and not a web browser pretending to be an application.

    I wonder how long it will take for Vencord to work on it though.

    Anything to avoid making the actual problems pay their share of taxes. Now they can write the whole thing off as a failure and allow these other companies to continue paying the bare minimum.

    Why not just charge a subscription tax? 🤔
