Presented by Machisté Quintana, Slack.

However, here there be dragons - performance hiccups, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability woes lurk in the shadows, waiting for you to unwittingly take a wrong turn. Come learn about best practices and common pitfalls to sharing code and UI components between the web and Electron worlds, learned from working on one of the most widely used production Electron apps.
