Make this an Electron App
Not all PostGIS users are web developers.
As late as 2015, I had no idea what build tooling was. NPM, HTTP Servers, not to mention front-end architectures. For those people who want the means to use this as a straightforward tool to preview and test PostGIS queries on a local database, we should think about making this an Electron App.
I have no idea how we should tackle this, and I don't believe this should be on our roadmap for 0.2
https://electronjs.org/
I support this, we'd need to add configuration UI, and I don't know how any of that works with electron (can you just do localstorage as usual? Is it bad to store database credentials in localstorage if it's only running locally?)
I love this idea. Agree that it shouldn't be on the roadmap for 0.2 but I think it is worth doing and I'd be willing to work on it.
