Like why does a communication app need to take up 1GB of my RAM??? Look at telegram desktop for example. It’s written in QT and it has a very low RAM usage.
the most infuriating aspect of electron, is is that multi-billion (and even multi-trillion) dollar corporations think it’s ok practice to release desktop clients using electron, like wtf, each one of them can hire ten teams to build ten completely new desktop toolkits, let alone just design their applications to use native system tools 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Oh yeah, most of the time are just webapps presented as a full app in a store. There are good apps out there, but most of what you find are a waste of time, space, and resources.
I’m excited about Lemmy, looks like a really nice project. It has a pretty good interface, which is an absolute must for alternatives such as this to even have a remote chance of success. Also curious to see how federation will perform. Finally, lemmur is cool, but it runs awfully bad on my phone, but so do all Flutter apps. Scrolling is hyper sluggish, animations are not fluid, buttons have input delay, etc. It’s a shame, because the app looks and works well otherwise. There’s certainly work to do in UI/UX (I’m in love with Slide for reddit lol) but it has come a long way already.
Big congrats to all involved! I might chip in some translations when I get some time.
