## What it is
A secure Electron application template combining React, Redux, Webpack, and i18next with Electron security best practices built in. It provides a hardened starting point for building cross-platform desktop apps with context isolation, secure content loading, and other protections preconfigured.

## Use cases
- start a new electron desktop app with security best practices
- find an electron boilerplate with react and redux
- build a secure electron app with context isolation enabled
- get an electron template with internationalization via i18next
- avoid common electron security mistakes in a new project
- package and distribute a secure electron application

## When to choose
- you are starting a new Electron desktop app and want security defaults from day one
- you want a React + Redux + Webpack stack in Electron
- you need a maintained template that follows Electron's official security checklist

## When to avoid
- you prefer Vue, Svelte, or another frontend framework over React
- you have an existing Electron app and only need incremental security fixes rather than a template
- you want a minimal starter without bundled state management or i18n
