Please please please don’t move to electron and just build something native. Electron desktop software bloat is killing our machines.

Packaging a browser runtime for a chat app is a concern when the base amount of resources is far more than what we need. I'm more concerned about dev community + what runtime we'd prefer managing local browser in. I'm looking to Go frameworks right now (I'm naturally moving away from python to Go personally) if anyone has any suggestions
I would be so happy if the migration went from pyqt to c++ qt.

Hell, I’ll help with the conversion.

We will probably be open sourcing the frontend soon and you can hack on it all you want. :D
