HCL Domino Ideas Portal
Welcome to the #dominoforever Product Ideas Forum! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated.

Electron benefits:
1. Design, programming possibilities - support full CSS and actual JS.
2. Speed of work and simplicity - there is no need to reopen the document for updating RichText-fields and re-/loading another subform or view.
3. Update RichText: Back-end -> Front-end (NotesUIDocument.Refresh(True) and notesRichTextItem.Update) still works unpredictably or does not work at all.
4. Gorgeous, fast working components for richtext - tables, etc.
I don't want Electron. If these flaws are eliminated in Notes, many people will be very happy!
And if you can choose: LotusScript or JavaScript in events of design elements. Now most of the events for LotusScript are not supported...
I really like the idea of being able to make native apps with Electron and Domino.
It would make it possible to create nice/modern responsive apps without the need for running the app inside the Notes Client.
I think it would be a good platform to create apps for clients that both have a requirement for offline use and security. I'm pretty sure it is a big hole in the market for a product like that.
And please specify the benefits from your point of view of an Electron client over a standard client.
Please note that using Electron (or any other framework) will add a dependency which might also introduce drawbacks. (Think Eclipse)
