See, pretty visuals / moods don't need high performance hardware, it's what you do with the tools given to you. I'm sure plenty of kids have just sat in Minecraft for a while watching their world go by, and it's using 1x1m blocks and 16x16 textures.

I wish there were better crossplatform native desktop development environments. Teams made / is making the switch to React at the moment, but it's still a web application.

I've recently gotten into the early access program for Beeper, which promises to be a native cross-channel chat app connecting things like Slack, Teams, Whatsapp etc into a native app. I like the native app part, but the downside of one-app-for-all is that it's lowest common denominator in terms of features and visually it looks like none of the other apps. Still uses 130-140 MB of memory at the moment though.
