Things people get wrong about Electron

From $25,000 Bloomberg Terminals to SpaceX spaceship controls, web tech is powering systems you'd never expect. Many desktop apps are built with Electron. Why build with web tech — and why bundle part...

As an open source project, our website never had to "convince people" to use Electron, so I never took the time to actually explain why I'm betting on web technologies to build user interfaces or why I prefer bundling a rendering engine.
