What’s the old adage? When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail… I get it. I’m a web dev too. I don’t know the popular mobile or desktop languages, as well as I know Javascript. But, I’ve also run into issues where the Electron based apps are so memory hungry, it bottlenecks the whole system. There’s always a better tool for the job, and as much as it pains me to say it… Javascript just wasn’t made to run native mobile or desktop apps.
