I avoid electron apps because it is almost anti web.

I would use apps built more like electron if they simply removed the electron part and replaced the app with a name for a namespace and simply shipped tht js/html/images along with a api service.

Installing would be binding tht app to tht name space and using the browser of choose and navigating to namespace.localhost. In this case rsync.localhost.

The system would be a bit more complex for handling auth and a few things but let's not get bogged down in solvable details.

Then I could access my apps from my phone. Another system (if I chose to expose them publicly).
