    Devs not caring (or being lazy) enough to do native coding.

    “Waaaah waaaah, how else am I supposed to make crossplat code?” - Whines the coder whose product is only available for Android, as an electron app no less, for that one never heard of Dart+Flutter (if i’m not mistaken, the most recent Ubuntu installers interface were made with it), or Delphi/Lazarus (yes, those two use Pascal language), or even Tauri or Neutralino if they code in Javascript.

      Tried some nice tool (tabame) that uses Dart/Flutter and it immediately uses 250 mb of RAM. No graphical content except some icons in the GUI. As I was going to replace task manager which uses 60 mb, I was not happy.

      Wish sciter would be more popular.

        That’s a lot of ram usage. Decided to try myself and on the first startup, 118mb ram. Ouch. It did fall to ~50mb after some setup, but that’s still quite high, especially compared to my task manager eating around 25mb while open. I somehow also managed to spawn 2 tabame processes, so I guess the program still needs to iron some kinks, to say the least.
