>I think there's opportunity in packaging this as a system installed & independently updated dynamically linked library much like WebView is updated on Android KitKat onwards.
The people who are browsing HN probably already have the solution to this problem installed on their computers: a web browser!
I don't really care about standardization of the "native" UI space. What I prefer is lightweight applications otherwise why not simply run it in a web browser? Electron loses the two primary advantages of the web and that is no need to install anything and being cross platform.
For Discord, there is no linux version and on windows I like the web version more.
Looking at all those nice cars. Sure they are not the latest model but also don't appear to be too much older than 10 years. But this doesn't change the fact that they are after housing the most expensive thing I need in my life. Pretty much everything else is extremly cheap. Even the most expensive Macbook Pro costs nothing in comparison (I'd rather use a chromebook with a good screen anyway).
This is the straw that broke the camels neck to me.
To me poverty is dead.
Even a minimum wage job at about $8,50/h is enough to live a relatively financially carefree live where I live. You won't get that nice car (you'll have to compromise) and you certainly will never in your entire life get that nice home.
Yet what I'm seeing on that map is the exact opposite. They should be significantly worse off than me but they aren't (good for them!).
Everyone who is still claims to be in poverty can only blame themselves (I do symphasise with the disabled on the other hand). Don't sell off your kids to child laborers which also means they can't go to school, they will only compete with you in a race to the bottom, causing your own downfall.
