Yeah, I commented before looking at your app so I wouldn't be influenced by it.

My dislike isn't so much with the final app, but more related to the ability to rebuild an open source project. If I want to make modifications, there is a lot of additional stuff I would have to install. I just don't use node, npm, code mirror, electron, etc. The argument could be made that installing Java and the libraries I need would produce the same kind of clutter, but that hasn't been my experience.

I think it's a matter of differing tastes and I have the luxury to indulge myself.

I do want to thank you for putting your work out there though. It is always interesting to me to see how people approach these projects.

Thanks for the clarification. It makes sense that if you want to perhaps contribute to the project or even just self-building it you'd pick a stack of your preference.
