This is an unkind nitpick of something someone has made.

It’s an app that runs on a Mac. What framework it’s running on doesn’t make it less of an app.



I do think people will have certain expectations when they hear "Mac app", though. Though at the same time, Electron is a bad word on HN. The ideal situation for marketing would be additional support for Windows/Linux so that it can be called a cross-platform app.



Electron is the future of Mac apps. You just haven't fully coped with it yet.


Guidelines don't dictate what an app is, they're just fucking GUIDELINES


Agreed, thanks.
