Building Cross Platform Desktop App using Web Technologies with Electron
summary
Overview of using Electron to turn a web app into a cross‑platform desktop app with a live demo of a simple music player that loads HTML/CSS/JS inside browser windows, wires main vs renderer processes with IPC for keyboard shortcuts and volume control, builds native menus and global shortcuts, and shows Chromium runtime plus access to native APIs (notifications, camera). Covers packaging into platform binaries (.deb/.exe/.app), auto‑updates and real apps that use Electron like Slack and Atom.
