Electron development services
Why we use Electron JS at Brainhub
Build cross-platform desktop apps with Electron
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 & 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.
Widely supported
There are thriving Electron communities of developers and users everywhere, producing an abundance of educational resources and development tools.
Low barrier to entry
Electron uses JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and other web technologies, virtually all developers with web development skills can get started with it without much effort.
Automatic updates
Electron desktop apps can automatically update themselves thanks to the autoUpdater component.
Things you need to know about Electron
Before you decide on your Electron development services partner.
What is Electron
Electron.js is a runtime framework that allows the user to create desktop-suite applications with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It’s an open source project started by Cheng Zhao, an engineer at GitHub.
Electron benefits
Even developers who don’t specialize in front-end web development have many good reasons to embrace Electron, including:
security,
large community of developers and users,
cross-platform support.
Electron development makes the most sense when building multi-platform desktop applications that don’t need to adhere to strict memory usage requirements and emphasize UX and UI design.
Electron use cases
Electron.js takes care of most of the dynamic applications which use our browser as a platform to deliver their embedded features and help us connect with a wider audience. After all, building and delivering the right applications that can help the users get their job done is the principal purpose of any open-source framework."
Electron app examples
Here are 5 popular Electron apps that you’ve most likely heard about at some point in time:
