gollark: Although what you can do nowadays is package it as a webview thing (not electron, there are saner things to use the system webview like this: https://crates.io/crates/web_view) and have a bit of native code for the out-of-sandbox parts. Although you drop some nice things that way.
gollark: Also, the sandboxing *can* make it not work for some applications.
gollark: There are obviously problems like compatibility across browsers, having to write typically nonzero amounts of JS, and some amount of weirdness.
gollark: You can load and run your applications on basically any modern platform with no install step, they can easily connect to your backend, webapps are well-sandboxed, it has *very* nice rendering/UI capabilities, and you can run code in basically whatever language you want via WASM (although it may be slow).
gollark: The browser actually is a pretty nice application platform despite its problems.
