Hm, not a bad idea. We could factor out the common part from all the electron apps. We'd ship it as a separate app, since it is common to them all. The remaining parts of all these apps would be pretty small, and to allow companies to update them easily, we could host them on servers and serve them dynamically as-needed over some sort of a protocol on top of IP, using the interconnectedness ("web") of most computers in the world.
I propose we call the common part a "web browser" since it works over the "web" and can walk this "web" in any direction it wishes ("browsing")
Since each application exists on a separate company's server (a location, or "a site") we could call each one "a web site"
I'll put together an RFC for comments but I also welcome them here.
