OT: what's the difference between Electron and Electrode?

Electron is a cross-platform desktop framework based on a web stack.

Electrode seems to be for "normal" web sites/web apps, Electron is for packaging HTML+JS as desktop apps.

Okay, thanks.

Sorry, I assumed you were already familiar with electrode.

As detaro says, it's for web apps, not desktop ones. Afaik its mostly boilerplate for node+react.

I see, thank you :)
