I think very few people will realize the systemic effects that a demo like this entails. Very, very good work StackBlitz team!

  If their base is node, that implies we could start to see many electron.js app being ported to the browser

    ELI5... why would you want to run an Electon app in the browser? Isn't that just a website at that point? EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it looks like this is an online IDE meant to mimic a desktop environment. I don't know if there's any demand for that, but sure, why not. I'm sure someone will come up w/ a reason to run WebAssembly in a jQuery plugin, too.

      I guess that running in the browser it doesn't need to be installed on the machine. Or a desktop-only Electron App would be usable from a mobile phone browser etc.

      Backwards compatibility with existing Electron apps I guess? Otherwise yeah, a native PWA would be better.

  Funny you say that. I'm usually really skeptical of the next big thing but I felt differently about this, just can't put my finger on it.

    This really means a lot. I'm glad our work & writing came across genuine.

  Thank you! Our entire team has definitely averaged 3hrs of sleep every night the past week to make this launch happen :) Incredible how much work goes into launching something like this.

  What "systemic effects" do you mean?
