Description
This PR is the result of a conversation the Meshtastic Discord (link) around "we need a cross-platform desktop app without significantly increasing maintenance load," which an Electron wrapper of the web client checks off in a lot of ways. This branch and (draft) PR aren't yet in a working state, but I'm publishing this mostly to get feedback on whether this would be an avenue to continue down.
