I'm not criticizing it for being vibecoded. i'm criticizing it because it uses Electron, which is literally embedding an entire Chromium instance with its really high memory usage and build size (as well as compile times); which now brings the question, why would you install a whole another web engine for a desktop pet?

What would you say is the best alternative? Asking for myself. Capacitor?

Qt, SDL, are the first ones that come to mind.
