## What it is
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
