Electron is a powerful framework that enables developers to create cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Originally developed by GitHub, Electron combines the best of Node.js and Chromium, making it possible to build applications that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase. This flexibility allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills to build desktop applications without the need for platform-specific languages or tools.

Whether it’s building tools, utilities, or even full-fledged software suites, Electron simplifies the process by offering a seamless integration of web technologies with desktop app development.
