That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

The reason to move to electron was that screensharing doesn't work on Wayland with Tauri.
Also, despite what we all thought we knew about Electron, the app is faster and uses less memory now than when it was built on Tauri.
Well it uses exactly the same as Element now with ~700MB. I think Cinny was like 1/3rd of that when i last tried it.
It's the price we pay for screensharing under Wayland. The maintainers are planning for v3 to be native, since a lot of Rust code is already in-place, but it will be a lot of work to support native code for at least 6 platforms, so they're hoping to raise some more funds before that and preferably have a steady monthly donation budget.
Yeah i get why they do it of course. It just works. If they keep going in a good direction i will set up a recurring donation :)
