Hi everyone!
I’m a web developer with experience in React.js, Next.js, Redux Toolkit, Node.js/Express, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. I’m now looking to build a cross-platform desktop application using Electron.js as the desktop wrapper.
✅ Stack I Want to Use:
Frontend: React.js or Next.js with Redux Toolkit
Backend (optional): Express.js with PostgreSQL or MongoDB
Desktop Environment: Electron.js
Key Requirement: Should work offline, so local backend/database handling is ideal
I’d really appreciate it if anyone could:
Share a working starter template or boilerplate project that combines Electron + React + Express
Offer guidance on best practices for setting up this stack
Suggest how to manage offline support (like bundling the backend and database with the app, or using something like SQLite/local Mongo/PostgreSQL)
Has anyone already done something like this? Any help, example repos, or advice would be super appreciated!
Thanks in advance 🙌
