Yeah, electron is so over.

Now tbe modern tech stack is to build a bash+python app in an env, add a touch of R, some js, and bundle it into docker container, then make that docker container into wasm with container2wasm, and give that out as the executable.

It's wonderful honestly. You can get just about anything working with stitching together stuff, and then serve your 10GB executable to anyone :).

So MuCh BeTtEr ThIs MoDeRn WaY!



Serious question: What's the feasibility of local web apps in containers, which appear to the user to be a "regular" app. E.g. Django + SQLite, running in a Docker container, and run by a Mac app shortcut. How would you recommend setting up and running that stack? Better ideas?
