i'm not even remotely an expert on this stuff
so if I say some dumb shiet, you know why

Considering that a large part of VRCX is based on a browser, why not change to electron

it's probably a lot faster than the webview used by the os
Considering I often see a kinda high usage in the background (0.7~5%) with 6+ threads
and it's one of the most CPU intensive apps on idle (at least for me with a ryzen 7 3800x)

I'm not saying that a full rewrite/change to Electron is a good idea
but
I think that integrating it for the user interface wouldn't be so bad

Any thoughts?
also I love the app so much
