Only way to compete electron is by building a webtech compatible UI engine that is lighter weight, more secure, higher performance, and renders well.

That is big engineering task and not something a small group of devs can do.

Only thing that could comes close is building electron and chromium compatible api on top of Zed team's UI engine.

Zed team also being the creators of Electron should have been the best people for this. They themselves opted to write a new immediate mode UI library.
