Electron Demo

Example of a simple Electon app that uses the features described as "sexy" by the webtorrent team.

Contents

So far the following have been implemented

  • tray.js: Tray integration
  • progress.js: Dock badge count and window progress bar
  • notifications.js: Notifications
  • menu.js: Custom menu and keyboard shortcuts
  • crash-reporter.js: Reporting side of the crash reporting
  • drag-drop-main.js: Handling of drag-and-drop events onto the dock or launcher
  • drag-drop-render.js: Handling of drag-and-drop events onto the window
  • startup-main.js: Enabling and disabling auto-startup feature

Disclaimer: This repository has been structured to separate each feature as much as possible. As such not all of the communication is set up in the same way it should be in more complete and complicated applications.
