Sooo... we're putting a javascript frontend webapp wrapped in electron in to a wrapper to emulate a filesystem in the browser so we can use that frontend webapp in the browser.
I think they should just recompile the whole Electron app-wrapper shell (with its whole own webview + JS engine) into asm.js via emscripten via LLVM for "putting Atom in the browser". What could go wrong! While you're at it, you'll surely find another 10-50 sturdy FOSS dependencies you can require for this to build --- heck, we're not reinventing Sublime Text here anyway, this is Cloud Scale 'n all.
Welp.
