This uses Electron #21

Electron is a bound-to-fail dumpster fire that should die rather yesterday than tomorrow. It should be replaced with literally any other viable option

Electron is not going anywhere and neither is this issue.

I would like to note that this isn't the only client option, and that anyone are free to write their own client if they so choose.

And many others, some are listed in the documentation - https://jellyfin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/clients/ Others can be found in the org. repository list - https://github.com/jellyfin And others yet being developed by third parties.

I don't have a full overview of all the clients, but I think the react native client is what we want to focus on going forward, as we can target many platforms (including windows, mobile and many TVs) with the same code base, resulting in less work to support more platforms.
