Sparr, Sure, ConverseJS not a simple local installation, and I don't think it intends to be installed locally, at least not on end-user type of systems.
A WebApp is a WebApp, regardless of complexity. That being said, I see the result. Eventually, I think, once Type=Webapp is implemented and Linux web browsers adopt WebApp-Mode, if needed, I guess that ConverseJS, and other webapps alike, will be widely available in local installations.
