I think i've finally reached that point where the latest trend just doesn't make sense to me. In this day and age of ever increasing connectivity and bandwidth offline first web applications just don't make sense. Take an offline-first app running in your browser and then cover the address bar and buttons with a sheet of paper, now you have an Electron app. Why not just use Electron if a desktop/unconnected webapp is what you want to do? Actually, i suppose if the front-end guys just wanted to get rid of the back-end guys then an offline first trend would be a way to further that along haha.
