Why does it have to be a desktop app vs a self hostable web app?

That way it can truly run asynchronously, even with the computer switched off.

It’s both! The Releases page indeed links to the Electron app so it’s easy to get started, but you can also run just the backend and web app separately. I have it running in a Docker container on my home network that I connect to from my phone using Tailscale. Check out the docs here: https://github.com/pizza-bot-app/pizza-bot/blob/main/docs/ST...
