Answer from AI

Electron is a framework for creating cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

It combines the Chromium engine for rendering the interface and Node.js for accessing system resources, allowing the creation of applications that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Examples of well-known Electron applications include: Visual Studio Code, Slack, Discord.

An example of minimal code to launch a window in Electron:

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');

function createWindow() {
  const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });
  win.loadURL('https://example.com');
}

app.whenReady().then(createWindow);
