We're starting a monthly roundup to highlight activity in the Electron community. Each roundup will feature things like new apps, upcoming meetups, tools, videos, etc.

This site is updated with new apps and meetups through pull requests from the community. You can watch the repository to get notifications of new additions or if you're not interested in all of the site's changes, subscribe to the blog RSS feed.

If you've made an Electron app or host a meetup, make a pull request to add it to the site and it will make the next roundup.

New Meetups​

Looking for an introduction to Electron? Two new podcasts have just been released that give a great overview of what it is, why it was built, and how it is being used.

Out now:

Hanselminutes: Creating cross-platform Electron apps​

Is Electron "just Chrome in a frame" or is it so much more? Jessica sets Scott on the right path and explains exactly where the Electron platform fits into your development world.

JavaScript Air: Electron Apps​

Electron is becoming more and more of a relevant and popular way of building multi-platform desktop apps with web technologies. Let's get a dive into this awesome tech and see how we can use it to enhance our own experience and our user's experience on the desktop.

If you're looking for an introduction to Electron, give the first a listen. The second goes into more detail about building apps with great tips from Nylas's Evan Morikawa.

We are currently working on two more podcasts that should come out next month, keep an eye on the @ElectronJS Twitter account for updates.

Join us September 29th at GitHub's HQ for an Electron meetup hosted by Atom team members @jlord and @kevinsawicki. There will be talks, food to snack on, and time to hangout and meet others doing cool things with Electron. We'll also have a bit of time to do lightning talks for those interested. Hope to see you there!
