It run fine on my 7 years old phone. Sure, native would be better, but electron mean they can make the website, the windows app and the android app all at once. So it’s worth it.
Everyone on Lemmy is a programmer, so you should know how hard it is to support multiple version of a service with as much active developpement as discord.
The point of Tauri and Neutralino is to do what Electron does without needing to bundle a whole, isolated chrome browser to make it pretend it is a native app
I didn’t know about that, sorry I missed it in you original comment.
Then maybe theses frameworks are too young or have some kind of limitation, or just discord did not switch yet, but I hope they do.
I know optimisation is not important for most company but if the switch is free they should do it.

I still run the last pre-JS version of the discord app on my phone, and it’s sooo much snappier.
I didn’t know it used to be on native, maybe I will try finding it so I can save some space
