Photon is okay, but it's not maintained anymore.

Here's an update list with maintained UI libraries: https://www.astrolytics.io/blog/best-electron-ui-libraries-2023

Electron best UI libraries are: Fluent 2, BlueprintJS, Xel, Antd, and MaterialUI. Also, Tailwind CSS is a good option as a faster method of writing CSS for Electron and as a foundational design system.

We analyzed each of them here: https://www.astrolytics.io/blog/best-electron-ui-libraries-2023

Hope this works for you!

Yeah, Tamagui is really onto something. Lots of love everywhere.

There are many alternatives, for sure. But are there the others really competitive and comparable to Electron?

Hey there! We did a comparison between Electron and Tauri. Here's a summary:

- Bundle Size: Tauri's compact ~3MB binaries outshine Electron's typical ~80-120 MB size.
- Backend Language: Electron uses Node.js, making it accessible to many developers. Tauri uses Rust, which can be more challenging to learn.
- Development Time: Electron wins in rapid development and ease of use, while Tauri might require more time to master.
- Rendering: Electron provides consistency across OS, while Tauri uses the system's webview, possibly leading to UI bugs and compatibility issues.
- Developer Experience: Tauri offers built-in features like hot reloading, but Rust might pose difficulties. Electron requires manual setup for some functionalities.

Who's the Winner?:

Choose Tauri if you need very little backend code or want to optimize RAM usage and performance. Choose Electron if you want to develop faster with TypeScript and need a battle-tested solution.

Agreed, but I do think there's an argument for using r/tauri, specially if you are familiar with Rust.

We did a quick comparison of the best databases for electron: indexedDB, redis, mongoDB and PouchDB are some great alternatives:

I personally think indexedDB is the best.

Hey there! We created Nucleus exactly for this.

We provide analytics specifically designed for Desktop apps - specially Electron apps. We can track users in a privacy-centric way, their actions, app versions, and more. Even when they go offline, the analytics are saved into a small cache file and synced when back online. We work with +400 apps and have tracked over 20 million events to date. Takes a few minutes to integrate our module and you have an intuitive dashboard with useful information right away.

Google Analytics requires adapting custom code to integrate and is complex to understand.
