I was wondering why they wanted to rewrite it then I realised they are using electron...ouch!
Eh, I think something like Electron makes a lot of sense, but maybe they'll go with tauri instead if it's going to be written in Rust. The app itself isn't really performance sensitive since it basically just launches games in another process, so using a web view isn't really an issue, and could even be helpful in order to handle 2FA and whatnot.
So I wouldn't expect them to rewrite with GTK+ or Qt or something, but who knows!
I work with Electron daily, I swear it's terrible and a pain in the ass for anything vaguely complex. They better go with Tauri for real
Yeah, I use it at work too, and my personal projects use Tauri.
I’m so sorry.
