## What it is
A community-maintained collection of metadata for applications built on the Electron framework, powering the showcase at electronjs.org/apps. It is a curated dataset rather than a runnable tool, with contributions submitted via pull requests.

## Use cases
- find desktop apps built with electron
- list my electron app on the electronjs showcase
- browse popular electron applications by category
- get metadata for electron apps programmatically
- discover open-source electron apps for windows mac and linux
- check which well-known apps use electron

## When to choose
- you want to discover or promote Electron-based desktop applications
- you need a structured dataset of Electron apps for research or a directory site
- you are an Electron developer wanting to list your app in the official showcase

## When to avoid
- you are looking for the Electron framework itself to build an app
- you need a runnable tool or library rather than a data collection
- you want an exhaustive, automatically updated index of every Electron app
