    The point of Tauri and Neutralino is to do what Electron does without needing to bundle a whole, isolated chrome browser to make it pretend it is a native app

      I didn’t know about that, sorry I missed it in you original comment. Then maybe theses frameworks are too young or have some kind of limitation, or just discord did not switch yet, but I hope they do. I know optimisation is not important for most company but if the switch is free they should do it.

        They would have to change some parts that interact with the OS. It’s probably not a big investment (especially for a company like Discord) but there are few reasons to do so, it won’t increase users (by much) and doesn’t affect revenue.

          It still increase user experience so they would do it if it was easy. Or more like I would like so.
          Except if we go full conspiracy theory and maybe they don’t want poor people that won’t buy nitro on the platform, it’s possible.

            Nah, most people just don’t care that it uses electron.
