Electron allows a developer to use all the new and evolving web technologies like Javascript, HTML, and CSS in a desktop application. Electron was designed by Github in 2013, and many popular apps are built with it. These include VSCode, Atom, Wordpress Desktop, and Slack. In addition, Electron is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux.
