I completed some final tweaks to my game today, and got it to run as a standalone app. In the usual my game is an Html. That is, you download, extract and run in your preferred browser.
With electron, you simply extract and run the .exe, and it runs independently. (Electron is a mini-browser, but allows for some flexibility)

So it's a survey, do you prefer games as standalone apps, or don't you mind running Html in your browser?

Do give (or any other ) a try instead of electron. Having a game that's pure html/css and some light javascript weighing >150MB, because electron is pretty much a bundled chrome, is really annoying.
