No, you're simply not the target market, which is the reason why your criticism is discounted. The target market appears to be people who want an app that will still work if OP decides at some point he no longer wants to build/operate the service. They can still fire up the electron app. It's a valid choice that you needn't agree with.

You can achieve this without electron. My criticism had nothing to do with that use-case.

The whole concept of "discounting criticism" based on... what, exactly? is preposterous.

eh, the idea is cool.

but I'm not downloading an application just for a simple use case that a website could take care of.

(Otherwise I'd have a bunch of unnecessary apps I use rarely or not at all after the first one or few times. This is what happened with phone apps-- the phone app market got saturated and people rapidly stopped caring about phone apps).

Instead, I'd add your "Look up <some value proposition> domain name" website's link to a document I have on resources for marketing-- a document that includes links to business name generators.

But an app? Nah. That's overkill: Your app does not need access to my computer. I'll find an alternative (hosted online) and use it instead.
