I am looking at building a desktop application that will allow other web clients on the same network (LAN) to connect and perform basic CRUD tasks. The app can be thought of as a LAN messaging app, accessible via the browser that also stores messages into the database and allows for searching messages by anyone on the LAN.Ideally, this can be easily setup with a simple website and a web server, db etc. however we are looking at having this app re-distributable to many of our remote offices. Not everyone will know how to set up node/database/web server etc. So packaging it in an easy to use desktop app seems like a easier step for deployment at various offices.I thinking of going with electron (instead of nw.js) and for the frontend, Im comfortable with angular.js.Is it possible to expose an electron app over the network, if so, how?What database can we use for this sort of app?
