> it taking quite a lot of CPU

Yes that is fixed.

The reason for slow performance + high cpu usage on electron/webkit apps was just the sheer amount of mach ipc calls (from the many many <div> layers) needed to be made to fetch the entire UI element tree.

This has been fixed two days ago Heres the solution for those interested: https://github.com/dexterleng/vimac/pull/190

I was also using a bunch of async queues instead of just a single NSThread which likely contributed to high cpu usage, and that has also been fixed.

> warning that I am using a screen reader.

Nope, you should get this warning, although it was a one time prompt for me. This is because Accessibility is opt-in for electron apps for performance reasons, and I have to ask for it through setting the AXManualAccessibility attribute (see https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/accessibility#assistive...), which I guess triggers the prompt.

Why did you choose to use electron for something so specific to MacOS?

Awesome project by the way. This will save my wrists from a lot of pain.

The app is written in Swift, not Electron.

Vimac had major performance issues previously when traversing the UI Element tree of Electron/Webkit apps.

I think you're mistaken. OP is referring to Discord as the webkit/electron app.

I don’t think they did. They’re just talking about the high cpu usage when trying to navigate an electron app while using vimac.
