## What it is
A curated awesome-list of resources for building desktop apps with Electron, including apps, boilerplates, tools, components, docs, articles, books, and videos. It serves as a reference index rather than software itself.

## Use cases
- find electron boilerplates to start a desktop app
- discover open-source electron apps for inspiration
- learn electron development with tutorials and books
- find electron ui components and tools
- keep up with the electron ecosystem resources

## When to choose
- you're starting an Electron project and want vetted starting points
- you want examples of real Electron apps
- you need a quick index of Electron tooling and docs

## When to avoid
- you need an actual Electron framework or runtime
- you want actively maintained code rather than a link list
- you're building non-desktop web or mobile apps

- function: documentation, developer-tools
