Interesting thread re Electron if you are tracking the 1Password debate.

“I think the history of tabs serves as a fascinating case study of how Apple’s neglect for its own UI frameworks assisted the rise and acceptance of cross-platform frameworks.”

@JohnPhilpin Cross platform frameworks have been around since the beginning of virtual machine development in 1976 with Smalltalk76. Just at a much lower level. I'm not sure this has much to do with Apple, but everything to do with the economics of software development.

@ddykstal way beyond my pay grade I just know that the electron apps I have … don’t ‘seem right’ … I get that one common thread is the ‘coding efficient way’ … and yes - might be a stretch to blame apple - though they do have a habit of ‘we know best’.
