I expose a LAN accessible status board from an app via HTTP. The app runs completely offline, thus I can't rely on something hosted on the public internet.

My last electron app did effectively the same thing. I took the hosted version of my app and bundled in electron for offline usage with the bundled app being just a normal web application started by electron.

I'm not sure I get it. Why isn't the status board just part of the app itself - why does it need to be accessed via browser?
