If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app. Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application. source electron js
With that slogan electron has persuaded various companies to use this powerful library to build their desktop applications. While it is easy to get started with electron, in order to make apps look and feel truly native it requires a great amount of detail and experience to polish the app. For that reason this folder hosts various electron projects which allow me to play with the different APIs and get a better grasp of the underlying concepts like the main process, the renderer process, ipc communication, etc.
For a list of resources to learn electron in depth refer to the base of this repository under the Resource section.
