Too bad it's electron. I'm working on a just-for-fun markdown editor using GtkSourceView and GtkWebkit and, despite a slight learning curve getting familiar with gtk, it's been a pleasure to work on. Ugh...electron? Really??
These kinds of dismissive comments make me wonder if the writer ever created anything of substance in their life.
For example, notice how this project is actually accessible for people to try today. Building something in the privacy of localhost is pretty worthless if you think it equips you with the power of judgement. That's the easiest part of building something. Congratulations on your unreleased hobby project that doesn't use Electron.
Let's keep this sort of comment off HN. You'll notice it only squanders interesting discussion from the pool.
In fact, that it's built with Electron suggests that the core can be factored out into a library that you can embed in a website or another project, and that's great.
So, please, spare us next time.

And he has. I use the things he has built in production. He has contributed to Python community (and SQLite) to a great extent. Some of the amazing things he built [1], [2], [3].
