What is there to gain using the Electron versions of Slack/Discord vs the web versions?
- omniscient_oce 6y agoThey have access to the file system and OS apis

You can't accidentally close them when shutting down a browser. That's about it, honestly (Discord is a little more special since it needs native access to see and capture games being played).
