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.
