Electron packages web apps as native desktop applications. Powers VS Code, Slack, Discord, and hundreds of other desktop apps. Criticized for memory usage.
Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
