Electron

Electron allows you to build cross-platform desktop applications using the web technologies you already know: JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It works by embedding Chromium for the user interface and Node.js for the backend, creating a unified environment to develop apps that run natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single codebase. This approach lets you leverage the entire web ecosystem, from frameworks like React and Vue to CSS libraries like Tailwind.

Electron handles the difficult aspects of desktop development so you can concentrate on building your application. It provides a rich set of APIs for deep operating system integration. Key features include:

• Native Functionality: Create native application menus, dialogs, notifications, and more.
• Automatic Updates: Implement seamless software updates for your users on macOS and Windows.
• App Installers: Generate platform-specific installers like .dmg, .msi, and .rpm files.
• Crash Reporting: Automatically collect crash data to improve your application's stability.
• Robust Tooling: Get started quickly with Electron Forge, a complete toolkit for building and publishing your apps.
