What’s interesting is Electron was generally meant to allow for the porting of web apps to desktop apps. I’m not certain how much it’s done the other way around. One StackOverflow answer details that it is doable, but highly dependent on the codebase of the app: javascript - Is it possible to convert an electron app to a web app? - Stack Overflow
Really, what people are asking for is a way to access Obsidian with all of its full features from any device, anywhere, and be able to self-host. A “Web App” version of Obsidian could solve this. For instance I’d be able to host it on whichever infrastructure I choose, create a private tunnel/VPN to said infrastructure, access the web app from my computer at home, my laptop at work, or my phone on-the-go.
I think there’s a ton of value in doing this, and really it is targeting a very different customer than someone who may choose to just use Obsidian Sync. The Sync customer just wants it to work and doesn’t want to have to worry about tinkering, where as a more technical customer may want to tinker to get something like this up-and-running.
I think a problem with this request is that it doesn’t lend to supporting the core product and help drive revenue for Obsidian. If there’s some way to create that justification/incentivization in this request it may help bump up the priority. Obsidian devs gotta eat.
