Why even make a desktop app at this point? I get doing that if it has some inherent advantage over the web version, but why go through the trouble of making another program if it's just gonna be the same but in electron?
A few advantages.
You can make app specific notifications.
You can stop worrying about security since you just lock the electron version
The user thinks it is an actual app and that this is better.
