Simplest File Renamer

I chose Electron for the app I was building because it would make sure the app I create (1 code base with Angular) would perform exactly the same way on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It required virtually <i>no</i> learning of anything new (just look up some Electron API like "minimize window") and I was done. https://videohubapp.com/ & https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App As a single developer, I was able to get an app out in a few months and have been improving it for 4 years now. I love it (enough to create a Renamer app too: https://yboris.dev/renamer/ ).

And yet, we have single indie developers writing multiplatform Qt [1] and macOS native [2] Slack apps. Last time I checked, Ripcord used 30-40MiB RAM, a small fraction of the official Slack client. Writing native apps (or a Qt app) would well be in reach of Slack. In fact, they already have native apps. E.g. Slack for iOS is native [3], just allowing M1 Mac users to use the iOS version would most likely be a large net improvement in resource use for those who'd choose to install the iOS version. Unfortunately, they disallow iOS installs on macOS. [1] https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ [2] https://shrugs.app [3] https://twitter.com/slackhq/status/931599784137363459?lang=en.

Our platform[1] needs to run web/mobile, so... Qt would not allow us to do even close to the exact same thing. [1] To help provide more context: https://supernotes.app/.
