I wish browsers had better support for local web apps. If local files can access persistent storage easily, this can open it up a lot of opportunities for quick and easy GUI apps. Basically the opposite of electron.

How file can access anything? It is just data. It can not do anything.
Executables are files too.
Then it is really a runtime that have an access. I.e. it depends if process have an access to a file from which user is executing a bash script.
Runtimes and operating systems consist of files, too.
