If I am not mistaken this is built off of Atom or something else like that. That disappoints me a bit. I hate apps that pretend to be native when they are really just wrapper around a web app.
It's built on Electron, same as Atom. Why is that disappointing though?
It's not a wrapper around a "web app". It does not load content via HTTP. It interacts with local file system and runs git commands. There are no "Waiting for gitkraken.com to respond.." type behaviors.
Like Atom, it works as you'd expect a "native" app to work. Things like responsiveness and right-click menus are identical to native.
I am curious what you think the benefit would be as a user if it was done natively?
