Hello hunters, Electron is an amazing solution to create cross platform desktop apps with Web technologies. However, making these apps publicly available requires a lot of effort. Every targeted platform needs different icons, installers and updates. Everyone should be able to find and download the app. This means developers have to host binaries, schedule rollouts and manage new and deprecated versions. A product website is required to describe features and changes, link to social channels, and provide the latest download links. Electron Toolkit is an open source suite of tools that attempts to solve the above problems and make launching Electron apps simple, fast and fun. Started from the command line, Electron Toolkit guides developers with a graphical user interface through the launch process and provides tools for: -icon generation -screenshot and video capturing -multi platform installer configuration and generation -artifact publishing -landing page generation We started to work on these tools after we spent weeks of work on the release of a software even though the actual development was already complete. The goal is to reduce the time to launch of new desktop apps to less than a day. We hope the tools are helpful and are happy about any feedback, feature requests or contribution ;)

I've been working on an Electron application for the past few weeks and have struggled with managing some of the problems that this toolkit solves, I'm excited to give it a go 😍
