I&#x27;ve been building on Electron for the last 18 months (@Nylas), and it&#x27;s really impressive how far it&#x27;s come in the last year.<p>Coming from native Mac OS X development, Electron is an breath of fresh air. There&#x27;s an incredible amount of energy and momentum in the web development community these days, and things like Flexbox, ES2016, React, and ESLint make it possible to ship fast and iterate quickly. Who would have thought JavaScript would be achieving what Java&#x2F;Swing set out to do in the 90&#x27;s?<p>I&#x27;ve had a chance to work with the core team on a handful of bug fixes and new features, and they&#x27;ve been incredibly kind and welcoming. I think Electron will go far as an open source project, and I&#x27;m excited that GitHub is growing it beyond Atom.<p>If you&#x27;re in the SF Bay Area and interested in learning more about Electron, there&#x27;s a meet-up coming up later this month!  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meetup.com&#x2F;Bay-Area-Electron-User-Group&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.meetup.com&#x2F;Bay-Area-Electron-User-Group&#x2F;</a>
