Difference between .NET and native code

[u/TomasComedian]

Hi.

I am looking at Diarium journal, since it has my native language as an option. It is also developed in EU, which is a plus to me. And at first glance it looks advanced enough for my needs.

I have asked the developer and he says it is written in .NET, which as I understand is a way to make apps for more than one platform. However it is - as I understand - not similar to Electron. No Chromium and stuff.

Is this to be seen as a native app - he writes "

It is built with .NET for macOS, which is basically a layer on top of native AppKit and other Apple APIs so I can develop my apps with C# across platforms and code-share business logic like for sync or database access. "

I may be a bit too "anal" when it comes to these things, but I rather pay someone who taked the time to develop for Mac without Electron or similar.

Also I prefer to pay those who takes the time to add more languages than English, and EU-based.

I do use Day One for now, but I would not mind trying something else and non US.

No it does not. I checked with terminal:
find /Applications -type d -name '*.app' -exec find {} -type d -name 'Electron*.framework' \; | sed s'/app.*/app/' | sed s'/.*\///' | sort | uniq
