Pybricks code editor as an electon app

This might be overkill, but I was curious. What would need to be done to bundle the pybricks code editor as a standalone electron app? I see some advantages to doing this for kids being able to work directly with the files they save on their computer.

Can you describe more about what you would like to do with the files on your computer than you can't currently do with Pybricks Code?

Mostly it's functionality to autosave have a way of navigating/saving files that's a little closer to a code editor like VS code. Currently the way it works (at least when I install pybricks code) is that you have to download and import files. and downloading a set of files saves a zip file. It may be overkill to deploy this as an electron app, but I've had kids who are look for something a little more like a code editor, where the files are on the drive and cmd/ctrl-s will save to the drive etc...

I've also really enjoyed using pybricks with VS code (thanks for adding those instructions, I hadn't seen them last time I was using pybricks!) I suppose that is an electron app which handles this use case :)!
