It's great tool for personal use, to write quick single purpose UIs in webtech that can access DB directly, without the need to write the backend or much with REST APIs.
For personal use, you also don't need multiple runtimes for multiple electron apps. You can just use the single shared one (or even system one; for example archlinux has electron installable via pacman), reducing memory use.
It's also pretty good tool to write your own UI for other people's websites.

- megous 7y agoI use pg-promise for DB and UI is a bunch of vanilla JS. You can get data with XMLHttpRequest inside electron from any origin and then just process the returned document with regular web apis. Sorry, I don't have anything public.
