Electron bundles Chromium and Node.js into a desktop app. It is the industry standard (VS Code, Slack, Discord) despite the file size.

Rich Capabilities: If you need full Node.js access (Filesystem, Serial Port).
Consistent UI: Loops exactly the same on Windows/Mac/Linux (Pixel Perfect).
Legacy: Migrating an existing web app to desktop with zero changes.

The Node.js backend. Controls lifecycle and windows.

The Chromium frontend. Displays UI.

The secure bridge between Main and Renderer (Context Isolation).

Do:

Enable Context Isolation: Critical security feature (
```
contextIsolation: true
```
).
Use IPC:
```
ipcMain
```
and
```
ipcRenderer
```
for communication.
Update Chromium: Security patches come via Electron updates.
