I would unironically rather have nothing than an Electron app in most cases. They are that bad. And in this case the app doesn't even add anything of value. Literally any email application will let you do the same thing.

So let me understand something: you obviously have a free will to not use something, but you would prefer something TO NOT exist and NOT solve problems for users, because you hate the technology so much?


What is that bad about them?

Waste of disk, RAM, and CPU. Tabs in your browser at least try to share those; but no chance of that with Electron.
