Discord ditches Electron for lighter native app

Original: Discord is ditching Electron and its new app uses less RAM

The move follows criticism of Electron apps for being memory-hungry, and the change is being widely discussed by developers and users debating performance trade-offs for chat and gaming apps.

Why now: Discord's shift away from Electron addresses a common developer and user complaint about high memory usage, sparking debate about app performance.
