    claude can eat me, but since we’re on the topic of electron vs native:

    any time i try a new QML or GTK 4 program it uses just as much if not more resources than its electron counterpart, and looks just as inconsistent with the rest of my desktop while doing it. the line between a shitty web app and a shitty native app has been blurred out of existence.

    Not to besmirch the quality of the content or the opinions of the author but highlighter yellow as a website background in 2026. Why?!?!?

      The guy writes a lot about UI design and I guess, bad/unexpected design amuses him. The hamburger menu uses an actual hamburger for the icon. In the winter, it will also snow on the webpage, with snowflakes covering up the content. And if you’re on desktop, you should try the dark mode.

        If my guy was out there to subvert my expectations, he got me. Still bad. But bad with a purpose?

          I mean, I’m saying, I genuinely believe it’s just there to amuse the author, and whoever may share the same humor.

          Lots of webpages were quirky like that, before it all got commercialized…
