Also, I would vastly prefer electron apps instead of using a native toolkit that's not following the interface guideline of the OS that looks to be using free icon set from the 90s instead of using Font Awesome or similar.
This is the most annoying thing with developers: many of them believe that a normal laptop from around 2010 is "underpowered" and everybody's using the latest macbook pro or some high-end device. But the majority of people use average computers with 4-8GB RAM and some random CPU. Most machines don't run on high-quality fast SSDs.
Also, the app is perfectly following the user guidelines of usable OSes: pre Win8 Windows and pre Gnome3 Linux. Those icons from the "90s" make sense and communicate their functionality well, because they adhere to some convention and are not pure fluff like FontAwesome et al. are. The sheer ignorance of dev community wrt. usability both in design and in performance is sad. Desktop is where people get work done and the bastardized mobile interfaces Win8, Gnome 3, and Electron brought there are nothing but an obstacle. Macs seem to not have gone to that direction yet, but slowly "advancing".
It's telling that none of the widely used IDEs---Even Android Studio or XCode---don't adhere to these bullshit "interface guidelines".
My blood pressure decreased by a huge amount the day I replaced discord & slack by ripcord... and it's also much better in term of UX when you are on a ton of different instances.
e.g. the difference in responsivity is huge : https://streamable.com/ori2yg
and ripcord does so in 87 megabytes of RAM with while slack does it in 758 : https://i.imgur.com/xivK3gr.png
and that's not counting that I would also need discord next to it. I had to buy 64gb on that machine because of all this fuckery - add a few additional work workspaces and a 16gb machine which is already more than what the general public have and it's unuseable. Just checked in the website of the biggest french retailer, and 7 out of the 10 most currently sold laptops have 8 gigs of ram for instance.
