Ask HN: What is Spotify desktop client built with?

2 pointshumility2 comments

In the age of slow, heavy bug prone electron apps, the Spotify desktop client does a lot of things right - it's not too heavy on system resources, reliable and has never crashed on me, once. Does anyone know what technologies is it built with?

I believe they use the Chromium Embedded Framework.

It has been discussed on Quora [1] by some Spotify Devs.

Maybe it works better on other platforms, but on Linux it's a resource hog and feels like a slow electron app..
