Electron

I was really pleased to see the twitter news about a new version and downloaded it right away. Seconds after opening it the first time, something felt strange and I head over to this forum, hit ⌘+F and typed “electron” in hope it won't show any results. So here we are :-(

I completely understand why developers love Electron. From a user perspective it feels like a good movie with autotranslated, computerized voiceover and all animated characters with no soul – just the initial idea/storybook is identical.

In my opinion everything is wrong about the Electon approach if your company consists of more then two developers and you are serious about a platform. The relationship between developers and users on the Mac is special. 1P8 does not fulfill the “it just works” approach for me.

TBH, I just looked up the date, when I need to cancel my subscription. I'm a user since day 1 and still suffer from the move to the web extension (missing htaccess-autofill …).

Thats so sad because 1P is all about security and I don’t want to compromise on that side.

I really hope you reconcider your choice.

Best regards
