Looks like ionic supports desktop apps now: https://ionicframework.com/docs/deployment/desktop-app

I have no idea whether it’s using electron under the hood or just a native webview (or something else?) but might be worth checking out.

Ionic uses capacitor for native deployment. Capacitor is a thin cli wrapper and an api abstraction around each platform. In the desktop case, it’s a wrapper around Electron. For mobile, it’s Cordova.
Isn't Ionic using Cordova Uber the hood? Cordova uses native webview.
