<br>
Electron OS backend (brightray) doesn't support mir yet AFAIK, although<br>
if you want to use this framework you could use a simple X server in the<br>
mean time, and then move to mir once we get support for that (I expect<br>
this to be a quick update at that point).<br>
<br>
I've been playing a little with electron apps and snapcraft, and they<br>
can run pretty easily by using something like this [1]. However, right<br>
now it only works when installed in --devmode, but I guess we'll fix<br>
this soon.<br>
