Leveling up Ultra: supercharging our client with Electron!⚡ Joining the ranks of esteemed platforms like Twitch, Discord, and Slack, we're adopting Electron starting from the 25th of September. Migrating to Electron will kick off a new era of enhanced experiences on Ultra. Let's dive deep into the advantages that this migration offers 👇 🖥️ Optimized user experience: Electron ensures a smoother, more responsive interface, elevating the user experience. Expect to see faster and more frequent development updates, which will enhance your overall experience as the Ultra client matures. ⏩ Seamless updates: With Electron, updates are downloaded in the background while you use Ultra. Once ready, a simple prompt will ask to install and restart, ensuring you always have the latest without the wait. 🌐 Application-centric experience: Moving away from a browser-like interface, Electron makes Ultra feel and operate more like a native app. This not only simplifies navigation but also fortifies security, reducing threats like phishing. 🔧 Boosted development: Electron enhances our team's productivity, allowing for more efficient code maintenance and faster feature releases. This means more innovations, more quickly! 🔒 Enhanced security: External links will open in your default browser, not within the client. This has security benefits as it reduces the risk of phishing attacks. By leaving the client to the browser, players have more awareness of the address they’re visiting.
