  • vite-electron-builder

    Discontinued Secure boilerplate for Electron app based on Vite. TypeScript + Vue/React/Angular/Svelte/Vanilla

  • For pet project I used this https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder - it's secure and works faster than with webpack. At work project we use electron forge with webpack and it runs much slower. And with electron it's annoying because electron is slow. I even try to develop via storybook when possible.
