Electron is a framework designed for creating cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It allows developers to bundle web apps with a native-like experience by incorporating a Chromium browser and Node.js runtime. Electron is popular for apps such as VS Code, Discord, and Slack, providing a unified codebase that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Shelley Vohr, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, works on the Electron project there. She joins a podcast with Josh Goldberg to discuss her role in the Electron initiative.
