hot take making guis in html and css sucks way more than any native framework

ever spend 3 hours tweaking yr css because it keeps putting yr thing in the wrong place??

web people just have stockholm syndrome. i hate making web things, it's so fucking difficult

it's turbo difficult AND you end up with crapware that eats ram?? where's the upside again????

@haskal the upside is that it will work on a fridge

@haskal you can write good HTML/CSS and it's trivial to port since everything has a chromium/webkit port now

@noiob if you've ported chromium, due to that using a native gui itself, you've also ported native guis. so you've done the base porting necessary for a basic gui, and also additional bullshit for whatever else chromium needs. i don't see how this is easier ?

@haskal are you sure chromium's UI isn't HTML?

@haskal also I'm just talking about the engine, console browsers usually have their own UI
