## What it is
A starter template (boilerplate) for building cross-platform desktop applications with Angular and Electron, including TypeScript, SASS, and hot reload. It ships with Vitest and Playwright test setups and packaging for Linux, Windows, and macOS via Electron Builder.

## Use cases
- bootstrap an angular electron desktop app
- create a cross-platform desktop application with angular
- starter template for electron with hot reload
- package an angular app into a desktop executable
- set up e2e tests for an electron app with playwright
- angular desktop app with sass and typescript

## When to choose
- you want to build a desktop app with Angular as the UI framework
- you need a ready-made dev setup with hot reload, testing, and packaging
- you want a maintained Angular + Electron starting point with native library examples

## When to avoid
- you prefer React, Vue, or another frontend framework over Angular
- you need hot reload for the Electron main process (only the renderer hot-reloads)
- you want to use yarn as your package manager (the template recommends npm)
