gollark: > There's a way to create some kind of webapp (ie. an executable that opens the browser in a popup-like styling with just the website, in some browsers even with custom window icon etc) but it's well hidden and only for powerusers.PWAs. Those are NOT VERY HIDDEN on mobile platforms.
gollark: What would you change?
gollark: Too late, I am already!
gollark: Also, anyone want to try bruteforcing the files on http://nobody.surge.sh/ to see if he has other ones?
gollark: Electron apps are bad because they ship an entire browser engine when everyone already has one or probably three.
