FAQs about our Electron development
Can web developers build desktop applications?
Yes. Electron uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so your existing web team can immediately contribute to desktop development. We provide guidance on desktop-specific patterns like IPC communication and native API integration without requiring platform-specific language expertise.
How do you handle memory usage concerns?
Memory profiling starts from day one, with bundle size optimization through code splitting and strategic process isolation. Our monitoring identifies memory leaks early, and lazy loading patterns keep resource usage comparable to other desktop applications.
What about features beyond web capabilities?
Custom Node.js addons written in C++ handle performance-critical operations and hardware integration. This approach delivers native-level functionality while maintaining your JavaScript codebase for UI and business logic.
How do you ensure cross-platform compatibility?
Bundling specific Chromium and Node.js versions with your application eliminates dependency on outdated system browsers. Our testing includes automated builds across Windows 10/11, macOS versions, and major Linux distributions with compatibility validation.
Can we distribute through app stores?
Absolutely. We handle Mac App Store sandboxing requirements, Microsoft Store packaging, and Snap Store preparation. This includes code signing, metadata configuration, and compliance testing for each platform’s review process.
What's your security approach?
Process sandboxing, disabled Node.js in renderer processes, and secure IPC patterns form the foundation of our security model. All network communications use certificate pinning, and sensitive data gets encrypted using OS-native keychains rather than plain-text storage.
