Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
