Wouldn't it be great if there was a way for all these electron apps to share the same runtime so people don't have to bundle it with their applications.

You know, I bet if the applications without the runtime are small enough, you could probably stream them directly from the internet without even downloading anything up front!

I guess that shared runtime would need some way to browse the applications....

^(vscode gets a pass)

Don't bundle your app, let the CDNs do their job. God damn, that's revolutionary.

Hopefully your idea takes off like the idiot that started the "monorepos" craze.

To your credit, your idea is actually good.
