About this episode

The episode discusses the merits and drawbacks of using Electron for desktop applications and explores alternatives like Tauri and Wails.

People often like to talk down Electron , but it is really that bad? There may be better ways to use Web technologies to make desktop apps, but isn’t having Linux versions of apps a good thing no matter how they are made?   We mentioned Tauri and Wails .               Support us on Patreon and get an ad-free RSS feed with early episodes sometimes   See our contact page for ways to get in touch.
