Electron Fiddle is a desktop sandbox app for creating and running small Electron experiments with a built-in Monaco editor and automatic Electron type definitions. It lets users run experiments against any Electron version, save them as GitHub Gists or local folders, and package them into distributable binaries via Electron Forge.
Use cases
- try out Electron APIs without installing dependencies
- prototype a small Electron app quickly
- share an Electron example via a GitHub Gist link
- learn Electron with runnable documentation examples
- package an experiment into a Windows, macOS, or Linux binary
- export a fiddle as a full project to continue in an IDE
When to choose
- you are learning Electron or exploring its APIs
- you want a zero-setup playground for quick Electron experiments
- you need to share a minimal reproducible Electron example
- you want to prototype before scaffolding a real project
When to avoid
- you need a full IDE or large-scale application development environment
- you are building a production Electron app from scratch
- you need testing, linting, or advanced build pipelines beyond simple packaging
