Electron is an abomination so alien to the laws of logic than even Yog-Sothoth
The Lurker of the Gate regards it as a monstruosity.

Essentially it is a framework for making programs, which works by loading into
memory what can only be described as most of the Chromium web browser to run
whatever program you intend to execute.

Basically it is used for distributing pseudo-web applications within a capsule
so you can run them as if they were desktop applications.
