Yeah I built a markdown editor in electron.

It was fairly easy because if you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can easily create one.

The tough part is to build it and push it to Microsoft and apple store.

You have to do a lot of work on that.

But in future it is going to be the go to one as companies are opting for cross platform development for lowering their cost and development time.

Lets see!!

Just saw this post and got interested in Electron because I wanted to do the same with one app that I have build with C#.

One question, can you install the apps locally without pushing it to any store ?

Yeah mate you can do it. You have to do it with electron-builder or electron-packager.
I did with electron-builder and I am using it locally.

Do you want me to do a post on that?
