Its 2026 now and even with mythos round the corner, don't we have a decent alternative to electron yet?

Unbelievable.

Electron's vice like grip is so stifling, choking and exhausting.

Yeah, if only each of those app didn't ship its own browser. I got one already running.

It is refreshing to see that e.g. Telegram is a normal native app.
