However, when I first tried to use Electron, I found the official tutorial has provided many useful information but only if you already have some knowledge about Node.js (which is what I lack). Since these web technologies are not platform specific (For example, Google will look exactly the same when you open it on either Windows or Ubuntu), one big bonus is your app will be able to run cross-platform!! You can do the UI design with HTML, CSS just like you did with web development and take care of the business logic with Javascript. So why don’t we build our desktop application with these web technology? Yeah, here comes Electron!Įlectron utilize Chromium browser and Node.js. Plus every web developers already familiar with Javascript. “If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app” – Electron official pageĭesigning GUI is one of the pain if you want to build a desktop application (Well, maybe not if you can live with the native UI provided like JButton, JFrame or Common WPF ) Designing webpage is way much easier with these day thanks to HTML5 and CSS3.
