This is just badly written announcement, which doesn’t answer basic questions:

1) How is JupyterLab App different from the JupyterLab? Is it just the same thing packaged in the electron app?

2) It comes with it’s own conda environment. But can it ran in my conda environment? Which is pretty much a requirement for any serious project.

For #2: I tried it, downloaded the large file and installed. Then on launch, it couldn't find any JupyterLab install from my Conda environments, and it asked me to find it. I just uninstalled. I'm not sure what it wants or how it interacts with my many Conda envs and it's too much hassle to try and sort that out right now.

Same here - I filed a bug. I've got Jupyter-lab running, I have a clean venv - but couldn't start jupyterlab_app - even when I manually told it where to find the module in my .venv.

Based at on the comments it looks like it is Jupyter Lab just packaged in an electron app.

I am unsure of what problem this is trying to solve as common use is to use Jupyter Lab remotely and then tunnel in to run excitements on a large cloud instance.

I run Jupyter Lab locally, so it would be nice to run it as separate app, but I need it to run from me env, of course.
