Electron is a framework based on the Chromium, the web browser engine, for packaging webapps as desktop programs across multiple operating systems. However, as The Verge recently put it: The desktop belongs to Electron. Pocket Casts have built their desktop app/webapp hybrids using the native toolkits provided by Apple for MacOS and Microsoft for Windows. However, it doesn’t look completely foreign either and everything is laid out so the design works on both platforms and the same design also serves the service well on the web. Pocket Casts have managed to pull off a design that doesn’t look completely native as either MacOS nor a Windows 10-style app. The MacOS and Windows apps are primarily repackaged Pocket Casts versions of the webapp. There’s only one app and it lives over at. I’ve taken a long hard look at what you’re getting, and why it might not be the most impressive podcast app available for desktop. My favorite podcast app recently took the leap from mobile platforms and the web to the world of making desktop applications for MacOS and Windows.
