I built an app that allows access to local devices and data while still being a browser, if anyone needs help in that area.
I built a desktop app that communicates with a server via HTTP, allowing the app to update itself, with all the logic on the server, so that the app was a lightweight client, like a browser.

The last Loader utility I did (for FabNet years ago) looks at a MySQL database on the internet to see if there are any updated versions and if so, asks the user if they want to upgrade. That was many years ago as well. Works very seamlessly to download and run the new installer and immediately exit the current app to allow it without issue.
