I don't think anyone who has a problem with Electron is going to rejoice at the option of a browser window instead. Typical Electron usage is problematic because it is a browser.

But Postage sounds like it might be the rare Electron app that is actually sensible.

I'm not going to jump around in happiness but I sure as hell prefer it as it's more resource efficient.

Electron is a new copy of the browser for every application.
