So, will Electron apps be an option now, for better or worse?



Electron IOS apps are already a thing. I’m pretty sure Obsidian on IOS is electron.



Ah I had thought it was Electron because the code is near identical to desktop for most things (if you download the IPA and unpack it, you’ll find an asar archive with the JavaScript)


As an end user I really don't want Electron apps on my phone. I want people to actually bother to do something native and fast, not cheap for the engineers.


On mobile world, that would be cordova or capcitor or phonegap.
