> the common Electron app business case

Serious question: what is the common electron app business case?

Being able to run as a desktop app as well as in a browser?

From my POI: Yes, and reuse developers and code you already have for the web version.
Ok, thanks, that makes sense.

The reuse developers part I suppose could be achieved with QtQuick since QML is javascript based, but beyond the language, not that much else translates and you can’t completely get away from C++ for anything non-trivial, so it’s not really an electron competitor.

Easy portability (not perfect) between all major platform
