Electron

Electron is an open-source framework that uses Node.js runtime and the Chromium web browser thereby allowing you to build apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux and comes with convenient features such as automatic updates, app crash reporting, debugging and profiling and more. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your app.

Initially developed for the Atom editor, Electron is now the framework of choice for dozens of popular desktop apps including Microsoft's Visual Studio Code.
