You’re aware that Electron app have access to much more stuff than what you can do in a browser? Like, important, functional stuff?

Getting really tired of “this is just a website” approach. It’s starting to feel like /r/programmerhumor here.

Are you aware that a huge chunk, most likely the vast majority, of Electron apps don’t use all that and are just wrapped web sites?
