If you use a browser as your client, this can be done. No need for electron either :)

On Macos Chrome you can still do hamburger menu -> More Tools -> Create Shortcut... and enable "open as window", and Chrome will create a .app file that, when you run it, opens that site as a PWA. Additionally it gets the favicon of the site by default as its app icon (you can change that) and then it shows up in the cmd-tab list as an app completely separate from Chrome. This works really nicely with Slack, especially if you're usually only in a few slack teams. Inside the PWA Chrome apps you can do cmd-N to create a new window if you want to see multiple channels / threads side-by-side from the same slack team. It's a great user experience and pretty much the only reason I keep Chrome around.

Firefox devs removed its PWA / "site-specific browser" support in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1682593 .

There's a GitHub project that enables you to run PWA's with Firefox as distinct apps (with thier own icons etc): https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox.

Disclaimer: Haven't tried it out myself.

Thanks, that's interesting but I'm not so anti-Chrome that I'm going to use a "custom modified Firefox runtime" just for PWAs. I don't even use the above trick these days; I've gone back to just using Slack.app.
