+I=E2=80=99d like to try to rebuild Bitcoin Core GUI using the JavaScript El=
+ectron
+framework. My goal is to get a real world understanding of the pros and
+cons of moving from Qt to Electron.
+
+Before I start, I=E2=80=98d like to know if this has been tried before or i=
+f there
+are ongoing efforts in this direction by anyone?
+
+I spent sometime looking into how to implement this. One approach could be
+for Electron to drive the UI by running bitcoind and communicating with it
+through RPC. But I don=E2=80=99t know if such implementation can achieve
+feature-parity with the Qt implementation. Qt has the advantage of direct
+access to Bitcoin Core code.
+
+Anyways, I just wanted to share these ideas before going further with them,
+so please let me know if you have any information on the above!
