Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“The most feature-complete flag platform. Targeting rules, segments, and experimentation are production-grade.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Expensive for what amounts to conditional logic. PostHog flags, Vercel Flags, or Unleash cover most needs at lower cost.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“Feature flags as infrastructure for safe deployment will be universal. LaunchDarkly defined the category.”
