Appflowy proves Rust is a great language to build end user apps (tomaszs2.medium.com)

Appflowy has extremely poor performance. Both in terms of loading large files and RAM usage. See my performance comparison of block editors[1]:

I've built a block editor using Qt C++ and QML that is vastly more performant[2].

As you can see, Appflowy probably even has a memory leak, causing the memory to grow indefinitely in my test.

Thanks for the info. It's an exciting project!


Probably the reason why you can't use it on the Web. Makes it not interesting for at least 50 % of the potential userbase.
