Web apps and Electron apps are two different things. Entirely.
> So, let me get it straight. A web app running inside a web browser engine is bloated, slow, and non-performant when it's on desktop. But the moment you put it on mobile it's not?
A web app doesn't require that you bundle an entire Chrome runtime with the app. There's a lot of your "bloated" right there. You've been told this several times, so it seems that you're being deliberately obtuse.
As far as "slow and bloated" as a whole, my (several years old) phone has 64 GB of storage, a hexacore 3.22 Ghz CPU and a quad-core GPU.
I. Just. Don't. Care.
I'm old enough to remember the exact same "slow and bloated" crapola when programs written in C (and, at that time, Pascal) started replacing hand-coded ASM. Now, modern C compilers are pretty whizzy, but at that time coding in C entailed a significant size and speed penalty.
Are you still writing in hand-coded ASM?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
If you don't want to use web apps, or Electron apps, don't use them. No one's forcing you to use them at gunpoint, mang.
Better yet, write your own "fast and slim" apps and take away the market for the "slow and bloated" ones.
