GitHub has unveiled the 1.0 release of its Electron application development framework. Formerly known as Atom Shell, Electron utilizes Web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript to build native desktop applications for Windows, Linux and OS X.
Electron also has two key extensions: Devtron, a Chrome Developer Tools extension for event inspection, visualizing dependencies, monitoring communication and running lint tests, and Spectron, an integrated testing framework.
More information and the source code are available at electron.atom.io.
