Any website wrapper means you’re an amateur. Write a native UI and use API calls if you have to, but fuck Electron and the like.
Most of these apps should just be websites entirely, and Operating Systems need to improve PWA support so we don’t need mammoth Electron apps to have quick cross-platform apps. Native would be a preference, but it’s not always the most efficient for the project. Especially if it is something you want running with extremely limited API access.
