While implementing a file drag-and-drop feature in one of my Electron-based apps, I fortuitously found an issue in the Electron framework which I believe could be a major security hole... Fortunately, this was not too difficult to fix, but I still don't understand why this has been overlooked so far...

All applications have been corrected and can be downloaded from my Codeberg repository:

The latest version v6.4.0 of the open-source application "Color Ramp Formulator" is now available, fixing an odd bug: the "Apply Color Map" child window would not open when the application was unpackaged.

According to the "Can I Unicode‽" web page, as of today, the #Chrome navigator is still "stuck" in Unicode 15.1, while the latest version of #Unicode is 17.0!

The fact that the #Electron framework is based on #Chromium probably explains why it is still lagging behind too...

Supporting Unicode 16.0 would allow me to produce a final stable version of my Unicopedia Plus app, before I can start working on a version for Unicode 17.0.

Until now, I've been able to provide a working (pre-release though) edition of my Unicopedia Plus app, targeting a specific #Unicode version not yet supported by the #Electron framework, by embedding a copy of all the up-to-date Unicode data files, and making use of the `regexpu-core` module to emulate the most "critical" regular expressions, but this is merely a workaround, not what it has been designed for in the first place...

As you might expect, my main application Unicopedia Plus relies heavily on #Unicode...

Today, I updated the #Electron framework to its latest major version 39.0.0, hoping it would at last bring full support to Unicode 16.0, published by the UTC in September 2024 , but unfortunately no; it is still stuck in Unicode 15.1, published in September 2023! Moreover, Unicode 17.0 has already been officially released...

These are just a few applications I've discovered that use Electron.

- Notion
- New Outlook
- 1Password
- Evernote
- Obsidian
- MS Teams
- Slack
- TeamViewer
- etc.

Instead of making everything work faster, developers stopped caring about resources and optimizing their programs.

Is Electron.js the new obsession?

I've been surprised to find that almost all popular applications use Electron.js/WebView/WebAssembly. How long will this last?

Now, instead of computer apps, we have browser windows running, each of which consumes 1 GB of memory, lags and freezes terribly.

Is V8 Code Cache format somewhat stable? Looking at the code it currently just stores bytecode for each function and a few extra data, but no assembly.

What I'm wondering about is whether I could precompile #electronjs preload code cache for all platforms/architectures and distribute it with the application?
