What I hate the most about this universal javascript trend is they use the same fucking icon in Electron, React and Atom.

I'll try this, but seriously, this STILL shows how shit Electron is and how bad it is to let web devs loose on the desktop.

Doesn't discord have API

Write your own programme

Even if it runs at 100% it should still be within it's safe operating parameters for an unlimited amount of time.

Yeah it's terrible code, but overheating shouldn't be an actual issue.

I'll make the logo!!!

What's the hippest GUI lib nowadays? QT?
>>
why does a chat program need gpu acceleration? wtf?!
>>
>>61130383
Who wants to listen to their fans at max or burn through their battery? How much money did Discord throw at this? How many devs? How much time? What not just fucking do it right?

>>61131016
And why would GPU make things worse? The GPU should be MORE efficient for any given graphics operation than the CPU.

Oiy vey! It sounds like your i7 isn't up to the task of modern computing. Luckily for you, I have the thing to fix that up.

>chat client built on untold layers of web cancer
electron is an instance of nodejs hosting embedded chromium browsers - there's one lot of javashit doing the main application logic and another running within each embedded browser carrying on as if it's a normal web page loaded in chrome

shit piled on shit desu

Nah.

Of course, the most mature client right now is Riot, which is a web application written in React and packaged as an Electron application.

But you have a choice of other clients, including Weechat (C), Quaternion (Qt5), Tensor (Qt5), and even Pidgin (C).

Or to just write your own, the protocol is open and uses a simple REST API.

Come on and join us OP.
