Current situation
Our desktop apps use Electron to run the UI and package it like a desktop app. However, this means that the user cannot use their favorite browser and browser features (like bookmarks, groups, etc.).
Ideal future situation
There is a way to run Headlamp's destop version using the default browser.
Implementation options
All apps have a headless mode, which means that when they are run with this option, they will open the default browser instead of using the electron view.
We build a new headlamp-headless version of the desktop app which doesn't include Electron (meaning the app is also lighter in size).
