    You’re aware that Electron app have access to much more stuff than what you can do in a browser? Like, important, functional stuff?

    Getting really tired of “this is just a website” approach. It’s starting to feel like /r/programmerhumor here.

      just because electron apps have access to system features that browsers restrict access to for security reasons doesn’t mean they’re not websites in a trenchcoat

      Are you aware that a huge chunk, most likely the vast majority, of Electron apps don’t use all that and are just wrapped web sites?

            If the question was “how many repositories on GitHub mention the word electron”, your answer would be correct. As it stands, citation is still very much needed.

              That is a valid citation. You can count yourself how many of those repositories are just for wrapping specific websites by random people. If you think I’m wrong, put your money where your mouth is and provide a citation yourself.

                The cited source does not prove your point, so it is not a valid source. If you make a statement, you go prove it. Until you do, I’m gonna assume it to be false.

                  Your laziness to count repos is not my fault. 🤷

                  If you make a statement, you go prove it. Until you do, I’m gonna assume it to be false.

                  OK, then I’m continuing to assume your statements are false because you can’t even be bothered to provide a citation why mine is not valid. Bye then.
