One of my favorite side projects (from several years ago now) was a custom renderer implementation that let one use React to manage the parts of an Electron app outside the page being rendered. [1] I never found the time to actually go through and make it robust enough to use in a production setting, but I remember being very pleased with how much easier it was to use than the native Electron APIs. Maybe I'll revisit this sometime. :) 1: https://github.com/mhink/react-ionize https://github.com/mhink/react-ionize
