Selfhosted release server
I have been looking at https://github.com/ArekSredzki/electron-release-server, but it has no API for pushing new versions. All that has to be done manually in WebGUI.

The pain of publishing Electron apps on macOS
To sign an app, we have a certificate Developer ID Application: () on the Apple site. A certificate like this allows releasing apps through any online service. We use the release server Electron to do that. You are going to need another certificate to publish apps to Mac App Store.electron-packager

Tracking How Many People Used/Download Electron App?
One relatively straightforward way to do that would be to use something like electron-settings to record a little bit of persistent state data to disk. I.e., in your main.js as part of the app bootstrapping logic you would (1) attempt to read a "first_launch" flag from the settings, and (2) when missing, post the info to the server and write the first_launch=true flag to the settings so you know you've done it already on the next launch.
