A stick figure pondering: “Hm. If only there was a platform for my desktop application”
The stick figure stepping over many native GUIs to pick up Google Chromium.
The stick figure: “Ah! Here we go!”
You are shitting on Electron but put Godot next to actual gui frameworks. Bundling an entire game engine is not much better then bundling a browser engine imo
I’m not a developer lol so sorry if it’s too absurd a leap but that entire game engine consumes maybe 100-200MB of ram and 30MB of storage overhead compared to the multiple gigabytes of nwjs/electron/etc. Yes it’s absurd and inefficient but that’s the point of a meme. Even shipping an entire game engine is less ridiculous.
godot is goated wdym
I agree that godot is goated—I use it myself. But for plain UI stuff, I find it annoying to work with.
