Is this a general objection to apps being web views run inside of Chrome? Insomnia's website does not make any claims towards being native.

I agree with the word "native" not suiting Electron apps well. I Updated the pricing page wording to reflect this. I think I originally used "native" because the Electron landing page does http://electron.atom.io/

Thank you. As I've said previously I don't have any issue with the term 'desktop app' for things like this, so I think this was the right choice.

Good luck with it!

This is incorrect. “The preferred place to break around a binary operator is after the operator, not before it.”

You're right. It must've been another Python style guide I somehow remembered that from.

From what I can tell this is kind of a point of contention among many developers; there are lots of debates when Googling that particular line.

This is possible in Twisted, using inline callbacks:

  try:
      data = doManyFancyThingsWith(yield asyncResult())
      print 'Parsed data:', data
  except:
      print 'Oh no, something went wrong!'

I find that I use inline callbacks for the common case and work with deferreds directly only when it makes more sense to handle callbacks explicitly.
