I dunno. Yeah it was declared dead, but still works great. We have an app some engineer developed to make his job easier that has probably 50 distinct charts in it. Each one is a SQL query that hits a database for a user selected time slot. It's used by over 100 staff now for analysis and building reports. Works great and is easy to support. I don't think we'd gain anything by making it an electron app. I've been pretty disappointed with those kinds of bloated apps, and I'm not sure if they'll ultimately last as long either.
Myself, I'd just build some command line script that hit up a database and pipe data to build a GNUPlot script and just generate a PDF report. That seems to be the best way to hook into a well maintained GUI project. It isn't sexy, but it's dead simple, should last forever, and be very simple to port to a different OS or language in a single afternoon.
