Alas. If only it were possible to host a Laravel app on the internet.

There are often times you want something that runs offline easily or can be distributed per-user without dealing with multi tenancy, etc.

Sure, but packaging a web app with a PHP framework in a Chromium wrapper to accomplish that is still ridiculous.

I don't care how ubiquitous the whole "web apps are now native apps" paradigm becomes, it will never not be ridiculous.
