Good call out on Electron apps, I try to avoid Electron as much as possible. I use Slack's web interface for example.

I never made the connection until you brought it up, but yes, Electron apps are just like using Webkit on iOS. Abstracting UI/UX to a browser engine which has identical security pitfalls to a browser but with far less control and inspection capability.
