Haha, my original post was only pointing out why the execution was probably listed as 0 seconds flat. Wasn't trying to critique. That last post was just for fun

Hopefully I can unsee it.
Given I don't develop in Electron or Nw.js, and given that my concept of a cross-platform app is simply a web app, and given that they have a server involved, I'm not quite sure what the point is.
I mean, really:
<p>Hello World</p> , how can it take more bytes that the 18 bytes (I guess *2 for Unicode chars)?
Maybe it's a solution to some problem. Thankfully, it's not a problem I have.

Where do we put questions about Electron development?

In Nuclear Physics? Next to proton, neutron and moron??
Ducks and hides on the way to get the coat

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Not to forget the bozon, the clown particle.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

shouldn't it be Nucular physics ?

I'm not positive that I know.
I hate to be negative about things, but in this case I'd be charged if I answered.

The problem I'm having is that it's essentially a web site that runs on the desktop.
I'm not really sure how I feel about it because it's all javascript, and I freakin' hate javascript.

I can understand that.
If it quarks like a duck, it's probably a water fowl - and JS is particularly fowl.

I'm toying with the idea of re-writing my reputionator app, and was thinking a cross-platform approach would be cool. However, after looking at the size of the disk footprint (over 50mb), i'm having 2nd thoughts.

50Mb is nothing these days - it's only a 1.14m stack of floppy disks ...

I think you mean 1.44MB.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Well, if you're going to go all new-fangled on me ...

I toyed with a similar idea... And rejected it when I realised what a pain Electron programming was going to be, and what an even bigger pain deployment was going to be, especially as I was depending on external C libraries (libxml2 and libxslt).
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

You can find some alternatives here: tools-for-building-cross-platform-desktop-apps-with-web-technologies[^]
What I have heard is that besides the large footprint, it is also very difficult to write good behaving applications in Electron, so I would not recommend it for any complex application unless you have a team of developers behind you that can solve all the issues.

I am a team of 1.
Ever since the "cross-platform" idea was invented, it's been rediscovered time-and-again, that the juice ain't worth the squeeze, and targeting one platform is always the best idea. That was back in the mid-80's.
35 years later, nothing has really changed. And that's sad.

I've been investigating Electron for an app I want to rewrite but I got put on hold when I read an article ?somewhere? on uSofts new framework to be released with .NET 6. Microsoft unveils .NET MAUI for cross-platform apps | InfoWorld[^].
I don't know if it will be something I can use or not, but I'm too busy right now anyway.

It looks like Maui is a no-go for me because they didn't mention linux (that I noticed). I don't care about or need to support mobile devices, or even Macs. I want linux and windows desktop.

That was the one draw back for me also, but hoping they add support in the future.
I won't be able to start my project for some time and there's no hurry.
I started rewriting it in WPF with MahApps and it is decent enough but Widows only1
The last version of the app was pretty popular but the one thing that was a no go was lack of support for other platforms, in particular IOS, some Linux.
