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.
