Electron 1.0 - Build cross platform desktop apps

So great that these technologies are maturing and offering an alternative to native development for people coming from a web background.

We were about to start a project using Electron a couple of months ago. In the end, our client decided they didn't need it to be a desktop app. Really excited to try it out soon though! The case studies give a lot of confidence. Anyone here built anything with it?

I love tools that close the gap between web developers and native platform developers. This update for Electron is especially exciting and I can't wait to give it a try.

That's great, hadn't realised that Slack and Atom were built on Electron. The tool kit you need now to build just about any kind of app is JS HTML and CSS. Some apps are just a better experience when on the desktop (given data syncing works well).

This is amazing! Making life so much more easier 😺

Nice! I will try it for sure! I really like the idea to write desktop apps with javascript

This is huge! Finally a way to make desktop apps without specific developers for multiple platforms or that vary from the rest of your web team. This is especially great for small apps that compliment web apps. Wish I could up vote more than once for this one.

Wondering how fast these apps will be. Excited to dig in though.

And I was thinking of getting a team to work on creating a desktop app for my project.. JavaScript is taking us to the future.

Electron looks like a game changer. Really looking forward to seeing what people create with Electron and getting stuck in myself.
