The domain 'blog.lacour.me' doesn't resolve for me:

Your name servers seem to be ns[1-5].he.net, and ns1.he.net doesn't know what blog.lacour.me is:

  > blog.lacour.me  
  Server:  ns1.he.net  
  Address:  216.218.130.2

  *** No address (A) records available for blog.lacour.me

OP: Did you try this on Mac? I'm pretty sure Electron is only being used on Windows and Linux unless they recently made the switch..

Cool hack, but an even better solution would be for Electron to support userstyles (and scripts). I won't be surprised if we gradually standardize on Electron or something like it for cross-platform desktop apps, and it would be great for them to be as hackable as the web.

Really nice hack. Unrelated, by I checked out your startup https://hund.io. My question is... Why not just use https://StatusPage.io? They are launched, funded, refined, and the de-facto standard. What is your value prop?

AFAIK Electron has always been cross platform. But yes it is very much on available on Mac.

You're totally right, just checked. Never even crossed my mind that they wouldn't be. Updated the post.

I think he means whether the Slack app is using Electron on OS X. At one point they used MacGap.

It's not using an A record, it's using a CNAME:

  host blog.lacour.me
  blog.lacour.me is an alias for silvrback.herokuapp.com.
