@moonglum audio app especially as it’s important that there is as little lag as possible. But other electron apps are also not ideal. Way too big, as every app brings their own chrome, they eat ram for breakfast. In addition it happens that the framework is not updated by the developers, keeping known and fixed security vulnerabilities open.

1. Interesting 🤔 We did all our podcast recording in the browser, it was never a problem. Furthermore, most voice/video chat is also browser-based today. I haven‘t heard anyone complain about lag in them.
2. Disk Space: Is that still true? Checked it on a Mac recently, and the Electron apps were roughly the same size as the “native” ones.
3. RAM: I agree that they use more RAM many cases.
4. Own Chrome version: True, which is why I use all of them in a browser 😄
