Using Electron is a bad idea: it's not secure. Electron has many security vulnerabilities. The latest version is still based on old Chromium (58 & 59) so it inherits many of the security vulnerabilities published in Chromium 60, 61 and 62

"Oh no I can't use that business chat tool, it doesn't support smiley faces and cat reaction gifs".
Why no web app? Moxie closed https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/issues/723 without giving any reasoning. Can someone link me to a blog post that explains why Signal is refusing to release a web version? I cannot run another Electron app on my computer, I simply do not have the RAM left.
