A minimal Electron app template for creating and sharing reproducible examples of behaviors or bugs.
minimal-repro is a minimal Electron application template designed for creating and sharing reproducible examples of Electron app behaviors or bugs. It provides the essential structure—including main process, renderer process, and preload script files—to isolate and demonstrate specific issues, making troubleshooting more efficient. The project helps developers strip away unnecessary code to focus purely on the problem at hand.
Electron developers who need to debug, report, or share reproducible examples of app behaviors or bugs, as well as those learning Electron's core architecture through a minimal template.
Developers choose minimal-repro because it offers a clean, focused starting point for creating minimal reproductions, which are critical for effective debugging and collaboration in the Electron ecosystem, unlike more feature-rich boilerplates that add unnecessary complexity.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes only core files like main.js, index.html, and preload.js, making it straightforward to understand and modify without extraneous code.
Specifically designed for creating minimal reproductions, which streamlines isolating and sharing Electron issues for faster debugging.
Serves as a clear reference for Electron's core architecture, such as the separation between main and renderer processes, aiding in learning.
Simplifies sharing bug reports by providing a clean template that ensures all parties focus on the same problem without distractions.
Lacks built-in tools for building, testing, or packaging, requiring developers to set up additional configurations for any production use.
The README provides only basic instructions, with no guidance on extending the template or handling common development scenarios beyond minimal repros.
Does not integrate with popular Electron frameworks or libraries, forcing manual setup for features like state management or UI components.
