Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Open source with a self-hostable option. Remote config + feature flags in one tool reduces tool sprawl.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Solid open-source feature flag platform. The edge proxy for sub-millisecond evaluation is a nice touch.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“The feature flag market is crowded. Flagsmith is good but differentiation is minimal against Unleash and others.”
