Why we use Electron JS at Brainhub
Electron JS is a framework based on Node JS and Chromium that enables us to build desktop applications using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS and, of course, JavaScript. The desktop apps built with Electron JS can be easily packaged for Mac, Linux or Windows. See some of our Electron JS projects.

A huge advantage of Electron development is that you can build desktop apps with well-known web technologies – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and get them running on Mac, Linux or Windows.
Applications dedicated to different operating systems using a common codebase can be built with its help. Thanks to awesome Node JS capabilities, you can use Electron JS to build standard stand-alone applications as well as desktop apps, which control external devices like cameras, TV and many other devices.
Think about Electron JS as a React Native for desktop applications. If you aren’t familiar with React Native, it's one of the most trending frameworks built by Facebook to build Native Mobile applications.

Main advantages of using Electron JS development
Reusability
Electron can be used both for desktop and web applications because of its single code base, so every change and bug fix is simpler to implement.
Reduced expenses and time
Management of single code for all platforms reduces development time, and fewer hours means reduced costs. That means happy clients and happy developers!
Compatibility
Electron works with all JS frameworks and libraries like React JS, or Node JS, which are enough to build high-quality apps.
How does the Electron development process look?
Flexibility in the development process
We know that every partnership needs flexibility, so even though we believe in the Agile Manifesto, we always adjust our process accordingly in order to fully meet all the stakeholders’ needs.
Clear and transparent communication
The whole process is transparent. We show results at daily meetings, and after every sprint, we present business value on demo. You also can track the amount of time we spend on tasks through simple project management tools.
Quality is key
Quality assurance, automated tests, test-driven development, and peer code review are crucial parts of the development process. We always deliver clean, refactored code that meets global standards. Easy to work on for any experienced developer!
