> I don't understand the point of electron for applications whose functionality is entirely dependent on being online

I’ve made electron apps that load a website I have no control over and added features to it, including new styling, keyboard shortcuts, and command-line flags.

I would have built a native app, but documentation on making macOS app is awful while electron’s documentation is top notch.
