I think the Franz platform has the weirdest bug I have ever seen on frontend. For the unknowings, Franz is basically a wrapper for chrome instances that lets you gather up all your teams, slacks, emails and the like into a single desktop application (and it eats your memory like the memory monster).

Anyways, when I type a message somewhere, the input will sometimes lose focus and focus on another input in another chrome instance. So for example, I type a message on slack, the input loses focus (which I don't immediately notice) and the rest of the message is typed out in teams instead.

    Sounds like it's made with electron cancer.

    @djsumdog It literally wraps multiple chromium instances. It's Electron².

    how is it that nwjs is like a tenth the weight (ram) of an electron instance, 400% easier and saner for users to install and configure, and yet dumbasses are still using fucking *electron*?

    @Wisecrack A tenth sounds more like Qt to me, but the answer is of course medium articles + possibly more corporate backing for electron.
