Discord ditches Electron, cutting Windows app memory use sharply
Original: Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
Discord's new Windows 11 client, built without the Electron framework, launches with no starting screen and uses roughly 70 percent less memory even with two accounts signed in. Windows Latest argues every Windows 11 developer should abandon Electron in favour of native frameworks, citing Discord's rewrite as proof that web-wrapped apps waste resources. Developers and users online are debating whether other heavy apps should follow suit.
Why now: The dramatic performance gains in Discord's rewritten app have reignited a long-running developer debate over Electron's memory and startup costs.
