If it turns out that Win32 APIs+Wine+Javascript is the ultimate cross platform way to run apps, I would laugh my heart out.
If someone releases an old Windows app for Mac and Linux using this and Electron I hope a story about it reaches HN. It'd be the ultimate combination of tech we love to hate. :)

Absolutely incredible project!
