  • electron-react-boilerplate

    A Foundation for Scalable Cross-Platform Apps

  • I would play around with the boilerplate electron react app and see whether it makes sense to you. Just edit the files in the renderer folder as needed and start it up.

  • crypto-async

    Discontinued Fast, reliable cipher, hash and hmac methods executed in Node's threadpool for multi-core throughput.

  • Yeah node module compatibility surprised me. Some modules require very specific versions of node, and Electron only bundles one version in every release. There was one module I wanted to use, but had to go with an alpha release of Electron. And other modules, like crypto-async, don't seem to work in Electron at all.
