While I agree the posters comment felt entitled, it should be possible to pick up and make a SwiftUI version of the app fairly quickly.

I assume the developer went for electron due to familiarity, but it would be a pretty good exercise for someone to port it to SwiftUI and native Swift for the front end.

I would do it myself but sadly am bound by other clauses.

It reminds me "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days". You just need to quickly learn Swift (which you will use exactly nowhere after this task).

It's astonishing how ungrateful people are. Even writing documentation for the software is quite a time-consuming action - writing the software itself is much more time-consuming.

So you are looking at some free software, that gives you the ability to play with StableDiffusion in 2 clicks, has a wide range of features and settings, surely required a ton of time to implement, and you arrogantly saying “pff, an Electron app...”

I think you completely misunderstood what I was saying.

I wasn’t saying that the author of DiffusionBee should make a SwiftUI application. In fact I said the opposite in that I agree that the person who expected a native app is entitled.

I was however refuting the person I was responding to who said making a native app is a huge undertaking, because learning SwiftUI is fairly quick. That’s not to say that the maintainer should learn it but just that it’s fairly quick to learn should someone else want to.

I was also saying that someone (maybe someone other than the maintainer of DiffusionBee) could contribute a SwiftUI front end.

Finally I was saying I would gladly contribute it myself if I could (but unfortunately have other reasons why I can’t)

anyway hopefully that clears things up, and that hostility from your post is unwarranted.

It is still kind of toxicity: “cool, you did it, but you could do it better - I could do it better, just out of time”.

Don't be toxic to don’t get that hostility.
