Friendly reminder to thank yourself today that you don't have to deal with Electron (unless you do, then... I offer a virtual hug). On Pulsar project, if we bump Electron to a node LTS version, we need to drop support for MacOS Catalina; If we bump Electron to latest stable, we need to depend on some "bleeding edge" libraries (is it still stable in this case?) So we need to stay in this weird "recent, but not too recent so we restrict too much, but still Node EOL because of reasons"...

I was always cautious of adopting Election. I'm sure your project isn't brand new, and probably started awhile ago, but I'm thankful that better alternatives exist today.

I don't understand where Electron "wants to be" to be honest. Essentially, it seems that they are making it harder for node to run in the "renderer" process. Which I believed was the whole point of Electron in the first place? There are a lot of "content security policies" that they enable that push Electron closer and closer to a browser, at a point where I think: why not use a browser in this case?
