I get that LLMs would make it faster to write distinct copies for different operating systems and maintain them both but thats still more costly than a single system.
Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the goal of Electron but it still seems cheaper and easier (although admittedly worse than multiple native apps)
- IshKebab 26d agoYeah that's my point. Maybe AI will lower that cost to the point where it makes sense to write e.g. a native Slack app. I dunno, we'll see.
- punarinta 25d agoThere is a native Slack client actually. Fast and with good feature coverage, it’s called msga.app
- IshKebab 25d agoAha exactly what I was talking about. Vibe coded in a few months. Maybe it has slop bugs but if you have as many employees as Slack it shouldn't be that hard to whip into shape. There's no excuse for Slack not having done this themselves.
