Also why is it a nodejs app? With the explosion of LLM and the insane increase in productivity shouldn't it be a Rust app?
Pre LLM nodejs was convenient option to deploy to all platforms at once.
Post LLM that's no longer a limitation! Just prompt more to create apps in native language! Anyways RAM is getting costlier by the day due to LLMs themselves
That is unless devs don't use LLMs at all. Then they should simply state in the GitHub repo that we don't use AI!
I wouldn't use AI for hobby projects tbh. It's my personal preference
If you have ever done that you know that that's as true as "write once, run everywhere". There will always be tweaks and iterations, even if it saves you a lot of time.
Because every other day we hear how excellent LLM is that we don't need to write code anymore
Is efficiency not important in 2026?
Electron was written to make dev times faster
But since LLMs are basically super engineers can't the app be written in native language rather than running on v8?
Maybe not rust. But then zed people did develop a cross platform library for apps didn't they?!
