Review coverage here is too thin to say much beyond broad approval: the only available feedback is a set of founder ratings, with no written comments from founders and no user reviews at all. That means reviewers, narrowly speaking, signal a positive view of Electron, especially among makers of products like Steer, RightNow AI, and Blitzit, but they offer no concrete details on strengths, weaknesses, or tradeoffs in actual use.

used Electron to build HomeDock OS

•5 reviews

While wrapping up the Rust + Tauri 2.0 version, we hit a roadblock: dynamically opening new WebViewsWindows from target="_blank" links was almost impossible. Combined with the need for seamless cross-platform support on Windows (with WSL2) and macOS (with Colima), Electron became the clear path forward, flexible, powerful, and ready for the universal self-hosting challenge.

used Electron to build Steer 2.0

•4 reviews

We chose Electron for our first Windows desktop app. It's great if you're familiar with web development, but sometimes it feels like we're stretching JavaScript beyond what it was meant for.

Electron makes it dead simple to ship a full-featured desktop app across Windows, macOS, and Linux using tech I already know — no need to maintain separate codebases.

Life Minute Photos is a desktop application built with Javascript, CSS, and HTML and we couldn't have created such a high-quality and performant experience without Electron.
