If you are interested in exploring more what Electron enabled the developer to do, head over to to check out more apps built on Electron. This is truly the next generation of desktop apps. It’s a framework powered by Chromium and Node.js that lets you write apps in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The magic behind those apps with cross-platform support is that they are all built with Electron. Not anymore with this new evolving way of development. Traditionally, writing a cross-platform application means writing the same app multiple times using the same or different languages that work on different platforms. All of those apps share one thing in common, which is the ability to run on multiple platforms, Windows, Mac, and Linux. A while ago I covered this new editor, Visual Studio Code, by Microsoft and how great it is to finally have a native Twitter client running on Windows 7.
