Finally you can package and distribute your Perl application using Electron, just to make people scream with horror. Ideally, you make a performance monitor with it.	[reply]

I found electron to be a huge resource hog and I stopped using it for e.g. MS-Teams. Too unreliable. Things might change for the better though. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

That's just a combination of electron-fiddle with one of the webpages that have been linked often enough. I'm sure you can do it yourself. What's keeping you from it?	[reply]
