CEO at Missive and proud developer of an electron based email client, I would love for you to try it and judge it's speed. It might change your opinion.
The problem is not when everything is written with web as the main central point, the problem is when you compare that with a previous version that was a desktop client first, then in a rush to make it cross-platform they fuck it up. Hence the hate for Electron, because 99% of Electron apps out there are like this.
I am a very happy Missive user and have no qualms about their desktop client. I kind of knew it was likely Electron, but it is so performant that it really didn't cross my mind that it was non-native. People bashing Electron apps is just a trope these days; like anything else, there are good ones and bad ones.
Starting young (at 20 years old or earlier) gives you over a decade to explore and discover your entrepreneurial path with low risk. Stop making excuse.
Why do you believe this? I think some workers prefer in-office work. But just as many likely prefer no commute at all. Just like some people love crazy expensive cities, but just as many love cheaper cities and rural areas.
I post this thread on HN. I honestly can't understand why they would deprecate the Unpublished App option. Was a win win for everyone. Using their Billing API makes sense when you building a business on top of theirs... but it's not our case.
We offer an integration with Shopify for a subset of our users (~5%) and while they love the integration, it's not relevant to the other 95% of users... which means it would make no sense maintaining separate Billing code for a small subset of our users that see the integration with Shopify as one feature of our SaaS.
It seems like we're only left with the option to deprecate. Which is a lose-lose-lose: We lose customers. Shopify loses an integration. And the customers lose this utility.
