> More seriously, this is an excellent proof-of-concept that a Slack client does not need to use hundreds of MB of RAM and consume most of a modern CPU core to provide its basic functionality.
If you’re so sure that this is possible, then where is the Electron competitor which allows us to build cross platform applications like this, with the same levels of productivity and a consistent and decent user interface?
No one needs to be convinced that a native Slack client for each platform would be much better, I wish they would build those clients. The problem is most companies can’t reasonably justify the costs of building multiple native clients when a single cross platform one is good enough.
