But if there are no better solutions, having a Electron port available would be pretty cool :)","author":{"url":"https://github.com/arcadiogarcia","@type":"Person","name":"arcadiogarcia"},"datePublished":"2017-07-10T21:54:58.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1/ClockworkRuntime/issues/1"}
