What's your experience with Electron alternatives

I haven't use any alternatives, and haven't developed with electron, but I know that there are another alternative -- Tauri. It also uses web-view. It's built in Rust and allows apps to be developed in JS (providing JS api) and in Rust.

What I can say -- JS support won't be cross-platform, like we have with NodeJS in electron. Special debug per platform might be required.

'Dumbphones' Are Not Private

Reply in thread

Yes! I hate that companies are trying to make people think thar rooting=unsafe. Then make it work safely. Root user is safe on Linux, then why it isn't on phone?

That's just boils down to user not giving root access to every app.

Have you tried Flutter?

I didn't develop on it, but I've used recently one app written in it and it was hot pile of garbage.

It was slow as a slug, and eat lot of CPU. I've also checked web eversion and was astonished as it rendered everything into canvas. It's really poor design choice to render everything by app itself.

I guess it was just buggy app, but I didn't try other apps in flutter, so can't compare.

But web demo of flutter UI components with list box was also not so fast. But perhaps it's just web version. Didn't know any example of good flutter app.

Is RAID still needed?

Reply in thread

But AFAIK real RAID don't perform CRC, thy rely on drive to report bad sector. In case if on one drive data got corrupted, it would return data from one drive or another. In case of mirroring. If we aren't talking about RAID 6 I think.
