Description
From Ben's [Medium writeup](https://medium.com/@bengreenier/streaming-electron-for-fun-and-profit-49e3a2abd12e):
> It’s important to note that in our solution, an app is simply any online resource that can be accessed and rendered in a browser by a configurable unique URL.
I'd like to use `browserd` for streaming existing electron apps, for example [postman](https://electronjs.org/apps/postman) and [dot](https://electronjs.org/apps/dot). These apps would run in a container on a server and be streamed to a `browserd/stream-consumer`. This goal appears to be fundamentally different to the intention of the project which is for streaming a URL accessible web app, not an existing electron app.
From your experience on this project, do you know if it's possible to achieve my goal? Essentially `SERVICE_URL` would point to an electron app, however an electron app is not addressable by a URL.
