It depends. Professional DAWs come to mind first: Reaper, Bitwig, Renoise. Professional video editor DaVinci Resolve Studio. Full-featured suite is certainly well beyond the capabilities of a single developer, but I'm sure there's a lot of specific pain points in these professional niches which you could cover. Also, Sublime Text/Merge are massively popular, while being freemium.
You mentioned Electron, so I suppose you're more inclined to web stack: there's a rapidly[1] growing[2] number[3] of WASM-based[4] apps[5]. They're web-native, multiplatform by nature, easily implemented as SaaS'es, and may be packaged as "native" applications.
