What is Electron?
Electron is an open-source framework that allows developers to build native desktop applications using web technologies. It embeds Chromium and Node.js, enabling the use of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS for desktop development. Developers use Electron to create applications that can run across different operating systems from a single codebase. Developers use Electron to create applications with native graphical user interfaces, customize window appearance, and control application menus. The framework supports automatic software updates for macOS and Windows users. It also helps with generating application installers and distributing apps to various stores, providing tools for crash reporting and extending functionality with npm packages.
