I guessss.....except if I want to make an app (and not a web page) I would probably make it in electron, because again I don't have to code everything twice. Making apps for apple watch or an iPad just doesn't appeal to me I guess - they always seemed like devices that were invented so people could spend more money on needless crap. Is a watch with a touch screen really that much more useful than a smart phone? Seems like just another way to suck people into a walled garden. Your watch sinks to your iPad, iTV, iWhatever...Yeesh, who cares?


As a user, I wish nothing but the eternal torment of nineteen hells upon Electron, for that is what it inflicts upon me.

SwiftUI gives me my device's native performance and UI.


For others nothing. Yeah electron is a better option then nothing.

As a view on the other side; I develop business apps. They are distributed via a local enterprise store, and never appear in the public App Store. Often, my apps replace paper in old-fashioned businesses. It's very honest and satisfying work.
