I've actually built something similar for myself using the browser. It was easy to build, as I am very well versed in that toolkit.
But that's where it became a chore. Having it go down with or being managed by tab snoozing in your main browser is not ideal. Having your dev browser open at all times to have it running is not ideal. Having an instance of Chromium or what have you to box the app in it is also not ideal.
And then extending it, doing stats on it, anything really is; you guessed it, far from ideal.
