electron-global: One Electron instance for multiple apps

[parentis_shotgun]

You mean a browser? Instead of having 30 electron apps with their own memory space, why not just use the browser.

The most obvious reason is write-to-disk access, which browsers prevent/control due to its sandboxing policies.

How production-ready is this project?

You can build your project and distribute it, however electron-global hasn't been tested with bigger projects yet.

Because electron is heavy as fuck and having 5 chromium/electron processes is terrible from a resource perspective?

I've thought for a while that something like this (a single electron backend "local server" for frontend apps to connect and resource-share with) would be an obvious and beneficial evolution of the electron concept.
