I'm currently building an app that works nicely as a web app, but it needs to store gigabytes of data and work with only intermittent network access. I'm considering trying to bundle the server-side code into a simple Windows binary that just fires up an HTTP server and binds to 127.0.0.1. Would that work for you?

That's essentially Electron. I'd considered that, but if I'm writing a native application component anyway I may as well make the whole thing native instead of using wonky web tech. I'd like to do that, make it completely native, but right now there are factors beyond my control that I'd have to work around first.
