To the people complaining about this being an app instead of a tool in a browser: This is a Show HN and someone made something for free and shared it.
Maybe they just wanted to play around with Electron, they don't owe you anything.

OP's project is literally the reverse of taking a traditional desktop software, e.g. a graphic editor, and making it into a web app. Here, it's something that naturally belongs to a web site, but instead packed up into an installable desktop app.
I'd be really curious to see the rationale behind this.
I've been using some web-based tools. Somehow, they don't last (ie. namemesh, or domainsfortherestofus that @pwdisswordfish8 mention went offline for sometimes).
Then I thought having a desktop app would be great. For the long term, I don't have to worry the site is down.
You concern as stated does not apply.
It's much easier to install spyware via an actual desktop app than via a web app.
