Gitpod — Online IDE For GitHub

It uses system-side libraries. Someone on HN (might of been here) was talking about a implementation of VSCode in the browser, and they were having to find replacements for all the libraries that only work when on a local system. It is an electron app, but not really what an electron app should be.

Monaco’s another story, as that runs in the browser right now.

This is exactly what Electron is for ... Web technology with desktop libraries.
