Leading the development of electron-react-boilerplate for over 5 years has taught me quite a bit about performance challenges with electron and optimizing electron apps. Contrary to popular belief, I believe electron apps can perform as well as native desktop apps.

Introducing Palette - Next Generation Web Performance Monitoring
TL;DR: I have founded Palette, where we’re building best-in-class performance monitoring for web apps. We raised a pre-seed from Afore Capital, hired a small team, and announced our case study with Notion. We’re now growing our team and expanding beyond the web.
Reducing Notion’s Typing Latency by 15%
Since 2010, Notion has worked on a web-based workspace that lets users write, plan, and organize — adding features over time, such as content blocks, collaborative tools, and AI features. Notion has seen incredible growth, recently crossing more than 100M users ranging from students to enterprise customers. But as Notion scaled, it became difficult to pinpoint the cause of performance regressions and identify opportunities for improving performance. As a result, maintaining typing and load performance became a frequent challenge. In July of 2023, Notion integrated Palette to tackle their challenges with performance.
