But who is behind Electron Starter?
Hey, I am Dennis. Since 2010, I've been helping various companies deliver enjoyable, performant, and accessible user experiences.
Over the last few years I've been suffering the pain of building several desktop apps with Electron. For my employer, I've built internal tools to help the team work more efficiently. For myself, I've built a few desktop apps - mostly for local AI tools.
I've learned a lot about desktop apps and got to know the ins and outs of the Electron ecosystem.
Now I am working hard on releasing Electron Starter to the world. I want to share my knowledge with you.
