@skittles You are welcome! I was a bit insecure about it being detailed enough, actually.

@yves Thank you 🥰

Today, I am happy to share an update on why the #Nextcloud desktop client is so big. Or better said: now significantly smaller!

@goetz Well… Qt does which is the foundation of this project since its inception.

In a native macOS app which uses WKWebView (shipped with macOS) it basically adds no notable overhead. Been there, done that. Integrating that into a Qt app on the other hand is overly complicated and fragile. I did a bit of research into that direction. Actually, QtWebView does that at expense of API features (which we need) due to the platform portability requirement.

"Why is the #Nextcloud desktop client so big?! " Let me explain in my blog post!
