    Small addition: I unsubscribed like many others from 1Password because with version 8 even they switched from native to Electron. This is just crazy.

    I mean guys, frickin think about people who can’t afford recent hardware! Do we really want Electron and thus Chromium/Google to force us to buy 1000€+ hardware to be able to do things?

    And thus cripples battery life.

    I only use things like Discord in Safari and Firefox to not have to use the Electron app.

    I really don’t get how everything has to use web UI. SwiftUI is really easy to learn and you can run this on any Apple platform. Flutter is a mess but you can run it on Android. GTK looks just gorgeous and Qt can run on everything but ChromeOS (like 99% of things). Is it really too much to ask for 3 more developers in a company that build native?
