Electron allows developers to build desktop applications with web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses Chromium and Node.js to package these apps so they can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Some key benefits of Electron include rapid development, shared code/UI across platforms, offline capabilities, and access to native device functionality and APIs. Popular apps built with Electron include Atom, Slack, and Visual Studio Code. The document provides an overview of Electron and tips for developing desktop apps with its tools and frameworks.

Native UX: extensions like native file open/save and tray notifications
I had a problem, so I used Java. Now I have a problemFactory to tell me how many problems I have.
Now I’d like to show you just how easy it is to get started with Electron…
App: application lifecycle events, command-line arguments, system/user paths, launch browser windows (renderers)
Dialog: File Open/Save, Info and Error
Menu: Native app and context menus
Power monitor: monitor power state changes
Screen: enumerate displays, cursor location, display events
Shell: open item with default app, move files to trash, beep()
Electron-updater: publish apps/packages through NPM or your own NPM server.
