I've built a few Electron apps now, one of which I use quite a bit to track ticket prices in secondary markets.

It's a great prototyping environment, and people have built businesses around Electron apps (VSCode is built on Electron, I believe). The apps I've built are big, kinda slow, and as others have mentioned tend to eat memory.

I'm assuming if you are tracking ticket prices it needs to be connected to the internet, in that case, why do you need an app instead of just a website?

Wat. Microsoft isn't "built around" VSCode.
