Hi
This is probably the wrong place to discuss that (OT).
> I=E2=80=99d like to try to rebuild Bitcoin Core GUI using the =
JavaScript Electron framework. My goal is to get a real world =
understanding of the pros and cons of moving from Qt to Electron.
There is a relatively new Bitcoin Core Github issue that covers that =
topic [1].
AFAIK many Bitcoin Core contributors (and users?) don=E2=80=99t like the =
idea of having a Browser and JavaScript to achieve a UI with relatively =
simple user-stories.
I think if you want to do this, try to work on a third party project and =
let your Electron UI connect to Bitcoin Core over RPC.
To avoid pulling, eventually use ZMQ or help getting long polling into =
Bitcoin Core [2].
Adding a Electron/JavaScript UI to the Bitcoin Core repository is very =
unlikely to happen.
