As if the Java app won’t be even uglier than electron and still weigh in at 300 mb for each. Not to mention introducing security issues on your machine with the jre
There’s a reason people stopped making consumer apps in Java
Uglier? Debatable as there are different UI Toolkits that can actually look beautiful and you don’t have to reimplement controls like you would in an electron app.
And you certainly wouldn’t introduce new security issues with different and outdated v8 engines that are bundled with your electron app, no sir.
I get that it sucks. Are there any alternatives, where I have one codebase for all platforms?
Flutter
It depends on what you are trying to do
Qt isn’t bad and runs cross platform
Have you heard of Java? Or any other language that abstracts away the GUI gluecode. Or don’t just even go electron and provide a web app instead.
