Building Desktop Applications with Node and Electron

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Electron claims desktop apps run like web pages but behave like native apps and demonstrates that by bundling Chromium + Node together, exposing modules like app, BrowserWindow, dialog, ipc and remote, and letting renderer processes use the file system and native C modules. Examples include Atom, Visual Studio Code, Slack, Level UI and Caprine; community tools shown are Electron Prebuilt, electron-packager, electron-compile and menu-bar. The demo opens files, registers global shortcuts and shows require works everywhere in practice.
