A curated list of resources, tools, apps, and boilerplates for building desktop applications with Electron.
Awesome Electron is a curated list of resources for developers building desktop applications with the Electron framework. It compiles tools, example apps, boilerplates, documentation, and community content to help developers learn and build Electron-based software efficiently. The project solves the problem of discovering high-quality Electron resources scattered across the web.
Developers and teams creating cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) who want to leverage the Electron ecosystem. It's particularly useful for those seeking example apps, development tools, or learning materials.
Developers choose Awesome Electron because it provides a meticulously organized, community-vetted collection of resources that saves time and ensures quality. Unlike searching independently, it offers a comprehensive overview of the Electron landscape, from beginner tutorials to advanced tooling.
