Note that adding the ability to set an install directory (i.e. on windows, with an MSI flag /InstallDir) only encapsulates the location in which the physical binaries are placed. An installer often will a: place things in %APPDATA% or %PROGRAMDATA% (e.g. for settings that vary from user to user, or temporary files), along with things like adding registry keys.
Similar issues exist on OS X and *nix, where you'll have things added to /home/user/.app/.config
In order to make a fully portable application, everything must be self-contained (and, due to the nature of this application, careful attention must be placed re: clearing out %TEMP% and %APPDATA% on Windows, and /tmp/* on *nix -- ideally not using them at all, as that opens up a lot of potential local vulnerability issues.)
(On the upside, this is Electron based so self-containing should be fairly easy).

this sounds like a cool feature! right now we're working on getting everything stabilized for 1.0, but we'll definitely consider working on this for v2 :)
