Appflowy proves Rust is a great language to build end user apps

  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.

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