@modulux Looking at your patience while exploring a way to make accessible multiplatform apps, perhaps @TauriApps might be worth looking at. I haven't yet tried it but according to the description it is looking like a much lighter platform comparable to #electron. It is reported to use platform native webviews where possible.

#Electron vs #Tauri in #deltachat_desktop
- 📦 download size: 151mb vs 28mb
- 💾 size on disk: 340mb vs 40mb
- 🧠 RAM usage: 292mb vs 209mb (after fresh start)
Though take it with a grain of salt: #deltatauri does not yet have features implemented and my sample size is just one here 😅
I'm making big progress on the #tauri version of #deltachat_desktop
So far it only takes 38 mb 📦 (78mb installed) in package size instead of the 150mb 📦(323mb installed) of the Delta Chat Desktop #electron version.
I'll keep you updated in this thread.
Thanks to #nlnet & #ngi0_entrust for funding this project: nlnet.nl/project/DeltaTauri/.

@FediVerseExplorer @WestphalDenn I am using web version of #element in @Firefox by default however #electron based apps are now accessible on #linux in a similar way as they are #accessible on #windows. So I think you will like it. Also #fractal a #gtk4 #matrix client developed with @GNOME technologies is accessible with #orca.
Context: if you follow #deltachat_desktop discussions on the #deltachat forum you might already know that we're planning to move #deltachat_desktop from #electron to #tauri in the future. But porting the desktop client is a big effort (our move to #jsonrpc was one step into this direction).
So I made this small sample project to check tauri out.
It's a nice side effect if the emoji picker is useful by itself, maybe we could even build a community for the emoji picker.

@Arkadiusz Świętnicki 🇨🇳 @Kat Moss #Pinafore is not #Electron based. It's single page web app best used in your browser. This one is really clever, simple and accessible. It's not bloatware either.
A Letter to #Discord for not Supporting the #Linux Desktop
theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2022…
I rewrote the whole article because I sounded extremely rude before. It's not nice to be rude to developers, whether you like them or not; whether the application is open source or not. Hopefully this revision is respectful and doesn't sound like I am shaming them.
A Letter to Discord for not Supporting the Linux Desktop
Discord is popular among the Linux desktop community. Thanks to Electron, the framework that Discord uses, it was possible for Discord to port the client over to Linux very easily.TheEvilSkeleton
