It says "using HTML5 and web sockets." Does this mean the application freezes if the connection to server is disrupted?

Could developers use this to make web-based apps along-side desktop clients? If so , Desktop frameworks like GTK and Qt should focus on this idea more to reclaim the desktop from the monstrosity that is Electron.
