alt Hacker NewsIs that like MS’s version of an Electron app? Aren’t most Electron apps just Chrom{e,ium} plus some JS to run inside it?
Asking seriously, not snarkily. That’s my understanding but maybe I’m wrong about it.

Electron is NodeJS + Chromium + Some native control APIs (trays/menus/shortcuts/window management) + update & packaging.
So a lot more can be done with an electron app, while still staying mostly in the web based comfort zone.
Microsoft switched from Electron to their own WebView2 a while ago.
