@dankuntz Yeah had similar experience… I tried it out yesterday. First experience was a bit weird, my battery went from 10% to 1% immediately and it just auto uploaded all my pictures without asking or letting me disable that after the fact. Already uninstalled.
2 settings every app should have but almost none do:
- Toggle rounded corners on/off globally
- Control animation speed or disable them entirely
Added both to my custom Windows task manager. Even switching themes animates smoothly when you change them live in settings.
Windows Task Manager has been unusable for me for a while, so I finally built my own. Written in C++ with DirectX and a custom hand-rolled UI framework.
The performance difference is night and day.
Wanted to try @zeddotdev on windows today. Downloaded it, installed it, ran once, closed it.
Tried to open it again and it just never launches. Probably crashing and I’m too lazy to look into it.
Is this a known issue?
The Apple native apps are not the best example, but I hear you that’s the whole premise of electron apps.
The network bottleneck is true but not as much as you think. In a native app you control the network stack. You sit at lower layer than a browser would for example. That shaves off lots of ms out of req/res (more than you would expect)
