The Telegram web client uses all sorts of features and a reimplementation of React.

> The project incorporates lots of technologically advanced features, modern Web APIs and techniques: WebSockets, Web Workers and WebAssembly, multi-level caching and PWA, voice recording and media streaming, cryptography and raw binary data operations, optimistic and progressive interfaces, complicated CSS/Canvas/SVG animations, reactive data streams, and so much more.

The dev is pretty much a genius.

I hate to even ask, but for a security-focused product, is that a good thing?

I think there is a valid argument “there is no good video experience on web otherwise” but that’s still a long list of less-than-fully-mature dependencies.
