A minimal Electron application starter template written in TypeScript, ported from the official Electron Quick Start guide. It is now deprecated in favor of Electron Forge's official TypeScript templates.

Use cases

• learn how to build a desktop app with Electron and TypeScript
• see a minimal Electron main process and renderer setup
• clone and run a simple Electron app quickly
• understand Electron's main and renderer process structure
• use as a starting point for a TypeScript Electron project

When to choose

• you want the simplest possible Electron + TypeScript example to read and run
• you are following older Electron Quick Start documentation
• you need a tiny reference app to experiment with Electron APIs

When to avoid

• starting a new production Electron project - use Electron Forge templates instead
• you need packaging, auto-update, or build tooling out of the box
• you want an actively maintained starter with current Electron versions
