electron-react-boilerplate VS Reactirator

I am working on a project where I need to build a desktop app in Electron. The majority of functionality will be built in React, but there will be a part where we need to integrate a 3rd party static HTML magazine. I need some advice on how to do this. I am building a proof of concept app currently and I have based it on this https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate

I am using electron-react-boilerplate to create an Electron-React app. The dev tools show up on the screen by default. How can I make the dev tools only appear when I ask for them and not show up on launch?

Using this boilerplate as reference I created an Electron app. It uses webpack to bundle the scripts and express server to host it.

I am not too familiar with vite but I've explored a bit and as of today there are many developers promoting the use of vite instead of create-react-app to build React projects. The main argument in favor of vite is that it is blazing fast compared to CRA. I feel more and more concerned by the growing adoption of vite instead of CRA since I'm building Reactirator and I consider to add support for vite and maybe choose it as the default choice.

I am building Reactirator an opensource React project manager for some months now. I must admit I am kind of proud of my work because this is my first desktop application even if everything is far from perfect! For this reason I want to share my knowledges and what I've learnt by building Reactirator. Hence, I will be making posts in the future about how build some of the features of Reactirator. This will be detached from the Reactirator context because we won't use Electron, basically this will be a serie of mini react / node application.
