Make Your Electron App Feel at Home Everywhere
Electron gives you the power to write a single application for Windows, MacOS and Linux. But Electron apps can easily feel out of place among other applications, exactly because you have so much freedom in designing your UI. This feeling of something being "off" often comes down to the details, not your overall UI. Kilian takes you through the process of making your app feel at home on all three platforms, making you aware of the pitfalls and how to avoid them.
