Doing work locally minimizes problems with Electron apps
So, I love the role that Electron fits, but boy do I hate how much we discuss Electron itself.<p>What we should be discussing is providing the functionality of Electron without the cost. A protocol that behaves like React native. Ideally a spec, which any language can implement and provide a native UX to the end user.<p>Some projects try (ProtonNative, for example), but I&#x27;ve not seen one go quite far enough. I don&#x27;t want to be forced to write a JS app to get benefits here. After all, with ReactNative, it&#x27;s basically a process RPC to a bunch of widgets. `process &lt;-&gt; UI`. So why be forced to write JS? An open spec would do wonders here.<p>I&#x27;ve not invested cycles on solving this problem, of course. Yet I can&#x27;t help but wonder why so many people are focused on solving UI issues with very narrow solutions like Electron, ReactNative, ProtonNative and so forth. They&#x27;re great projects, but a slightly wider vision would make them amazing projects.<p>Thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?
