The Slack desktop app works pretty much the same way - native wrapper around an HTML UI that is almost identical to their web UI. (I think they may use the platform's native webview though, not Electron). It has its pros & cons... one nice thing is that if you use the desktop app most of the time, using the web UI on the go doesn't feel like much of an adjustment. It has basically the full power of the desktop app because it's the same UI code.
