I did the browser port of BasiliskII which this wraps (https://jamesfriend.com.au/projects/basiliskii https://jamesfriend.com.au/projects/basiliskii) as well as the port of PCE (another Macintosh emulator) used on archive.org. I see a lot of people asking why someone would distribute an Electron-wrapped version of a program you could run natively, and I see it as an extension of the the same reason why I ported these emulators to the browser in the first place: accessibility. While you can install BasiliskII natively, it's a bit of a pain, especially if you are not super technical. If you find a binary floating around online it may not work for your OS version. Wrapping it in Electron is one way to ameliorate the OS compatibility issue; Chromium has been battle-tested across many OS versions. Ideally BasiliskII would have a better OS compatibility story (as well as being more portably distributable with data files) but, like many open source projects, it doesn't have a lot of maintainer-time to make this happen.
