secure-electron-desktop-app

Walks through building Electron desktop apps on a three-part skeleton, a privileged main process, an isolated renderer, and a typed preload bridge that publishes a narrow API over declared IPC channels. Covers folder layout, channel contracts, hardened window options, handlers for files, dialogs, saved settings and auto-updates, and renderer hooks, with human-confirmation gates baked into file overwrites, restart-to-update and any registry-fetched tooling. Use when creating, refactoring, reviewing or debugging an Electron app, when designing IPC between its processes, when tightening BrowserWindow security options, or when wiring native features such as menus, tray icons, notifications and update flows. Not for browser-only web apps, Tauri or other non-Electron desktop stacks, or code-signing and store-release pipelines.
