## What it is
A secure Electron application boilerplate built on Vite with TypeScript, supporting Vue, React, Angular, Svelte, Preact, Solid, and Vanilla setups. It follows Electron security best practices and includes electron-builder packaging, end-to-end testing with Playwright, and auto-update support.

## Use cases
- start a new electron desktop app with vite and typescript
- electron boilerplate with secure defaults
- package and auto-update an electron app with electron-builder
- set up e2e tests for an electron application
- electron template supporting vue or react
- cross-platform desktop app starter with best practices

## When to choose
- starting a new Electron desktop application from scratch
- you want a security-hardened Electron setup with minimal dependencies
- you need built-in packaging, auto-update, and Playwright e2e testing
- you want a choice of frontend frameworks (Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, etc.)

## When to avoid
- you need a full application with features already implemented rather than a starting template
- your project does not use Vite or TypeScript
- you target platforms or build pipelines incompatible with electron-builder
