Electron is a popular open-source framework that allows building cross-platform desktop apps using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). It combines Chromium and Node.js into a single runtime, enabling desktop applications with native-like behavior. Apps built with Electron can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux using the same codebase. Electron is used by apps like VS Code, Slack, Discord, and many others.
At ITBCO Solutions, we use Electron to build custom desktop software for internal tools, admin panels, and offline-first applications. Electron enables us to reuse our React-based web architecture for desktop with minimal changes. We integrate Electron with native OS features like file access, system notifications, and local databases. It allows quick delivery of enterprise tools where installation and native performance are critical.
